'''Lost Song''' is a song in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' that doesn't appear on the soundtrack. The title '''Lost Song''' is a reference that is "lost" from the soundtrack. It is played during the level ''[[Assault on the Control Room]]'' right before the bridge that overlooks the [[Control Room]]. You must cross the two bridges with the two [[banshees]] and [[Hunters]]. Once you kill all the enemies in the first room afterwards the music will start playing. It is played on an infinite loop until you clear the rest of this section, so you can listen to it for quite some time.

==Overview==
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.
 
==Appearances==
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.
 
==Arrangements==
The track was arranged into ''[[Arborea Above]]'' in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'' in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary: Original Soundtrack]]''.
 
The bass guitar melody was incorporated into the main melody of the track ''[[In Amber Clad (music)|In Amber Clad]]'' in ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]]''.
