This track plays during the battle between the [[Jiralhanae]], [[Mgalekgolo]], and the [[Sangheili]] in the [[Mausoleum of the Arbiter]] at the end of the ''[[Halo 2]]'' level ''[[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]]'', though it plays with the lyrics almost muted. The music plays on a loop until all enemies are eliminated. The introduction of the song, with its characteristic bell chime, can be heard during the level ''[[Outskirts]]'', before [[John-117]] encounters a convoy of {{Pattern|Ruwaa|Shadow}}s in the highway tunnel.


This track plays during the battle between the [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]], [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]], and the [[Sangheili|Elites]] in the [[Mausoleum of the Arbiter]] at the end of level [[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]], though it plays with the lyrics almost muted. If you listen closely, you can hear the lyrics proving that it is not an instrumental version. It will play on a loop until all enemies on both sides are dead. Interestingly, the intro of the song, with its characteristic bell chime, can also be heard during the tunnel portions of the level [[Outskirts]].
The track was replaced by ''[[Breaking the Covenant]]'' in the ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'' [[Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack|soundtrack]] and corresponding gameplay section. The bell chime in the introduction was reorchestrated into the opening of ''[[Moon Over Mombasa]]''.
