The song was originally known as the Song of Creation and was gifted by the [[Traveler]]. The song's frequencies were heard across the stars, wherever life's promise took hold. Worshipped by both members of the [[Ammonite]]s and the Hive, others sought to understand and control it, unravel its secrets and gain control over life and, more importantly, death. Though for centuries, the Song remained untamed as it seemed the Song did not grant life on its own. | The song was originally known as the Song of Creation and was gifted by the [[Traveler]].

However, the origins of the Song of Life and Creation from the [[Traveler]] caused the Song to hurt and corrupt the [[Darkness]] infused Hive, while the Song's secrets remained beyond their grasp. Eventually, a Hive known as the Striken found hidden notes within the song and, by making them Reversed and Mirrored in pitch, weaved her own song that she sang at the Choir, killing the First Conductor. Intrigued by the song, the Choir eventually captured the Stricken and had her interrogated to understand her findings. The Stricken's discoveries would be used to create a whole new song, what would soon be known as the Deathsong.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:Inquisition_of_the_Damned#IX.I:_The_Unmaking|Inquisition of the Damned: IX.I: The Unmaking]]''</ref> During the [[Hive-Ammonite war]], the Choir employed the Deathsong against a world and species whose names were erased from the [[the World's Grave]].
