'''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).

==Overview==

===Gravemind===

''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 track ''[[Finish the Fight]]''). The piece plays during the ~~cutscene~~ 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]].

===Fated Journey===

''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]].

''Flee'' (0:31) interrupts the previous piece with a short but intense percussion solo. The abruptness matches with the ~~cutscene~~, as the [[Gravemind]] suddenly turns on John-117 and 'Vadam after the duo has prevented the activation of the Halo rings.

===Flee===

''Flee'' (0:31) interrupts the previous piece with a short but intense percussion solo. The abruptness matches with the cinematic, as the [[Gravemind]] suddenly turns on John-117 and 'Vadam after the duo has prevented the activation of the Halo rings.

''Familiar Ring'' (1:15) begins with a rendition of the opening chant in the ''[[Halo Theme]]''. The vocals take the lead, with strings playing in the background. The piece ends with the vocals singing a variation based on the melody, rising before fading out, quickly followed by the strings. The piece plays in the ending ~~cutscene~~ of the level, in which John-117 and 'Vadam discover [[Installation 08]], and the name alludes to the ring being a replacement of [[Installation 04]].
