Mausoleum Suite
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Realworld Template:Ratings 200px|right Mausoleum Suite is a suite of songs included in the Halo 2: Original Soundtrack. It includes Destroyer's Invocation, Falling Up, Infected, and Shudder. The melody of "Destroyer's Invocation" resembles "Lament for Pvt. Jenkins" from the first game. "Falling Up", which plays when the Arbiter gets his armor, is often referred to as the "Arbiter's Theme," as it is always played in Halo 2 during Arbiter missions. "Infected" consists of shimmering synth effects and spooky distorted vocals which some people think is another secret message. "Shudder" starts as a remix of "Shadows" from Halo 1, then transitions to a short section with the organic sound effects and vocals from "Ancient Machine". It runs for 8:10.
Hidden Message
When the track is played backwards, a hidden message can be heard. At normal speed it is inaudible, but sounds similar to the Gravemind's voice. However, when sped up words can be heard and the voice begins to sound like that of a Prophet. It is more likely that it is 032 Mendicant Bias because Gravemind or the prophets wouldn't be seeking for forgiveness nor does Gravemind do anything that may warrant a reference to "living in a prison of [his] my own demise", but this may be a reference to his being trapped on Delta Halo. Whether either is the owner of the mysterious voice, or something/someone else is debatable.[1]
