'''Edge Closer''' is the fifteenth track (Disc 1 Track 15) included in ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]'', and plays in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[campaign]] level ''[[The Ark]]''.
It starts with a gloomy melody, almost reminiscient to the music played when facing the [[Flood]] in [[Halo 2]]. At around 0:40, the music quickens to a rapid drums beat. Later on, a soft melody is added to the background. At 2:10, choir starts a major melody, with drums and orchestral accompaniment. Near the end, the drums get dramatically louder, and the song fades to a close.


The piece starts with a gloomy, mysterious melody played in digital notes. The section plays in ambiance during the encounter with [[Jiralhanae Stalker]]s in the Cartographer's spire. Rapid drums beats fade in, followed by digital notes joining in with a melody in the background. The tempo quicken into a climax, then ends. This section plays when John-117 battles [[Cethegus]] and his [[Jiralhanae Jumper|Jumper]]s. In the final section, the choir take over with a major melody, followed by a reprise of heavy percussion in ''Overcome'' from the track ''[[Behold a Pale Horse]]''. Near the end, the drums crescendo dramatically louder, and the piece fades to a close. This piece plays during ending cutscene of the level.
It runs for 3 minutes and 1 second.
