'''Dust and Echoes''' is a song included in the ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]''.

==Appearances==
It plays during the end of [[The Maw]], in the ending cutscene.

==Overview==
This track gives the player the feeling of being alone; that they lost everything and that the victory came at a terrible cost, which it did. Rather than infect the galaxy with the [[Flood]] or activate [[Halo]], which would destroy all intelligent life in the galaxy, the total destruction of the ring was concluded to be the only course of action.

==Other Appearances==
*The middle section of the piece is the same as [[The Maw (Music)|The Maw]].
*The intro was remade as part of the [[Sacred Icon Suite]] on the ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]]''.
*The third part of this piece is remade in the second half of ''Halo 3'''s "[[Wake Me When You Need Me]]" track. Both are named after quotes from [[Cortana]] and [[John-117]] during the final cutscene from both games.
*The first part is played in reverse on the level [[Keyes]] during the cutscene where [[John-117]] retrieves the Flood-assimilated Captain's neural implants.
