This song plays in God of War 2 in the level inside the Colossus of Rhodes, and much later in the game during the third phase of the Kraken fight.

This song is based on the Glory of Sparta theme, which is present in other tracks that play in the beginning of the game. The Sparta theme plays at 0:25, 0:55, and 1:10. In this in-game implementation, the song is played twice, with the second repetition starting at 1:21. In the second repetition, some of the choir is omitted, and there is en extra portion of the song at 2:41 that does not play in the first repetition.

The Eastern Ramparts song (and its variation Wraiths of Asphodel) is very similar to this song, especially to the part at 0:59. Wraiths of Asphodel also borrows directly the melody from 0:25.
