==Overview==
The Lost song is a song in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] that doesn't appear on the soundtrack. It is played during the level [[Assault on the Control Room]] right before the bridge that overlooks the [[Control Room]]. You must go across the bridge with the two [[banshees]] go to the other room once you enter the music will start playing. It is endless, as it repeats after the "end", so you can listen to it for quite some time. Note that there are [[Covenant]] in this room that may pose a threat in harder difficulties. (If you wish to continue listening to the music '''do not''' exit this are area as the music will end at once.)
The name ''The Lost Song'' is a reference that it was "lost" from the soundtrack. The track features slow percussive beats and high strings playing a suspenseful melody with bass guitar in the background. The high strings are reversed to get an eerie sound alluding the corridors.

The track plays during the level ''[[Assault on the Control Room]]'' right before the bridge that overlooks the [[Control Room]]. After crossing the two bridges with the two [[Type-26 Banshee]]s and [[Mgalekgolo]], the player enters another large room. After eliminating the Covenant in this room, the track will start playing. It plays on an infinite loop until the player proceeds to the hallway and large room after.

The track was arranged into ''[[Arborea Above]]'' in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'' in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary: Original Soundtrack]]''.
