This track starts with it's Title song Behold a Pale Horse, which is a revisit of the Halo CE track [[On a Pale Horse]]. It starts out much the same way the original starts, with a steady, accented string chord beat along with low string pizzicatos. The first difference from the original, is when the strings are joined by piccolo and choral when the ensemble plays a melody-variation of the monk chant from the [[Halo Theme]] in the accented chords. This is followed by a repetition by choir, which is in turn followed by a strings melody. Suddenly, the strings stop, and a heavy brass melody starts. This is then joined by more strings, and the whole thing starts to sound a little like the Halo Theme. A more peaceful section follows, mainly played by strings. At 3:10, a mysterious-sounding melody starts. Drums join in, and the motif repeats. Gradually, the section becomes more minor and gloomy, yet with a faint air of hopefulness about it.<br />
'''Behold a Pale Horse'''
This track starts with it's title song "Behold a Pale Horse", which is a revisit of the Halo CE track [[On a Pale Horse]]. It starts out much the same way the original starts, with steady, accented chords voiced by the strings along with low string pizzicatos. The first difference from the original is when the strings are joined by piccolo and choral when the ensemble plays a melody-variation of the monk chant from the [[Halo Theme]] in the accented chords. A heavily accented part follows with the addition of brass, finishing out the song. This section lasts 1 minute and 34 seconds.
'''Reconciled'''
The next section is another Halo CE song, a theme heard in the first part of the [[Truth and Reconciliation Suite|Truth and Reconciliation Suite.]] "Reconciled" begins with low strings and brass on a low note as the rest of the brass play an epic sounding theme. This is then joined by more strings, the violins playing arpeggios while the low strings and brass play phrases similar to what they play in the Halo Theme. A more peaceful section follows, mainly played by strings with the addition of chorus. Reconciled is 1 minute and 37 seconds.

At 5:00, a rapid melody starts, much more stimulating then the previous sections. It is based mostly off of the Halo Theme, with strings, drums, and choir. The melody continues for thirty seconds, then suddenly stops.
