Template:Realworld Template:Ratings 200px|right Lament for Pvt. Jenkins is a piece included in the Halo: Original Soundtrack. This piece is the played after the Master Chief watches the video feed from Jenkins' helmet. The name is clearly derived from the Chief witnessing the horrible fates of Jenkins, Bisenti, Mendoza and the rest of Johnson's squad. The piece is a tense, moody ambient song by string orchestra. The piece opens with a dark, powerful drumbeat, followed by an apprehensive minor chord. Every seven seconds, the drum sounds again, punctuating a change in the chord. The song becomes increasingly disjointed towards the end, featuring the scrambled high notes typical of the Flood, and slowly fades out, leaving a dark air to the scene.

It runs for 1 minute and 14 seconds (1:14.475). It is also featured on the ad for Halo 3, Arms Race, right after a Marine is shot by a Brute Spiker. Template:Halo Music
