'''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 pizzicato. 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.
