Work Burns and Runaway Grunts

Work Burns and Runaway Grunts is the fourteenth track in Halo Wars: Original Soundtrack.

Overview
The track opens with synthesizers before strings enter with a slow and melancholic melody. Halfway through, synthesizers join in, briefly taking over before strings return in a dramatic reprise of the melody. The track ends with digital effects and synthesizers fading out.
