'''Gravemind''' is the nineteenth track (Disc 2 Track 4) included in ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]'', and plays in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[campaign]] level ''[[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]''. It is composed of ''Gravemind'' (0:00-1:50), ''Fated Journey'' (1:50-3:36), ''Flee'' (3:36-4:07), and ''Familiar Ring'' (4:07-5:22).

''Gravemind'' (1:50) opens with different variations of eerie digital chimes. It goes on for nearly a minute, which then transitions into the intense, electrically-generated siren-like sounds from the track ''[[Shadows (music)|Shadows]]'' (from ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]''). It is joined by a reversed message. This section plays when [[John-117]] and [[Thel 'Vadam]] escape from the Flood after the latter has killed the [[Prophet of Truth]] in the [[Installation 00 Citadel]].

 

''Fated Journey'' (1:46) opens with a reprise of the vocals from ''Black Tide''. However, the strings followed, playing slowly and building tension with the vocals until the high strings strike a sharp chord followed by numerous high-pitched notes. The low strings quickly take over with a somber rendition of the five-note E Dorian melody (from the earlier track ''[[Finish the Fight]]''). The piece plays during the cinematic in which John-117 and 'Vadam has reached the final platform in the Citadel, where 'Vadam kills Truth and John-117 deactivates the firing sequence of the [[Halo Array]]. It ends with the music that plays over the scene in which [[Avery Johnson]] carries [[Miranda Keyes]] into the [[D77H-TCI Pelican]].
