'''This is Our Land''' is a song included in the [[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]], and includes the tracks ''This Is Our Land'', ''To Turn a Tide'', and ''Innocents of Voi''. It plays at the beginning of the level [[The Storm (level)|The Storm]].
'''This is Our Land''' is the ninth track included in ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]'', and plays during the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[campaign]] level ''[[The Storm]]''. It is composed of ''This Is Our Land'' (0:00-1:39), ''To Turn a Tide'' (1:39-3:19), and ''Innocents of Voi''(3:19-4:00).
 
''This Is Our Land'' (1:39) begins with the low strings playing a reorchestration of its part from ''[[Brothers in Arms]]'' (from ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]'') in repeat. Vocals enter with a reprise of the opening of ''[[Out of Shadow]]'', followed by high strings echoing its ambiance. The low strings fade out, followed by the other instruments, and digital effects enter to transition to the next section. The piece plays in the beginning of the level, when [[John-117]]'s convoy enters [[Voi]].


It runs for 5:25 minutes, and is a remake of the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' track [[Brothers in Arms]]. The part from 0:58 to 1:28 is a remake of the middle part of "Broken Gates" from the [[Mombasa Suite]].
''To Turn a Tide'' (1:40) begins with heavy low strings playing a heavy melody, complemented by a heavy percussive beats. Soft vocals sing in the background, with high strings joining to play a second melody. As low string melody plays in different variations, the high strings melody smooths out in legato, and both melodies repeat several times before fading out. The piece plays in full when [[John-117]] joins Marines in launching the assault on the [[Type-52 Anti-Aircraft Wraith]]s in the second lake bed. The piece then reprises in the form of ''[[To Kill a Demon]]'', a low strings only version of the piece, when [[Thel 'Vadam]] arrives on a [[D77H-TCI Pelican]] to join John-117 and venture deeper into [[Traxus Factory Complex 09]]. The high strings melody also plays in the level ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]'', when John-117 and 'Vadam climbed the pyramid to the [[control room]].


==Trivia==
''Innocents of Voi'' (0:41) enters with high tempo percussive beats, with a focus on metal percussion instruments playing over muted drum beats to create a feeling of urgency. The piece plays in the second chapter of the level, "Judgment", during the fight with the [[Type-47B Scarab]].
A remix of the part from 1:39 to 3:18 appears during the level [[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]], when the player is ascending the tower to the control room.
