	In the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[campaign]], it plays during the levels {{Levelname|The Covenant}}, {{Levelname|Floodgate}} and [[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]] and is five minutes and 22.037 seconds long (5:22.037).

-	The song is relatively quiet until around 1:01, when the music's tempo rises with intense, electrically-generated sounds. These sounds are from the ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]'' piece ''[[Shadows]]'', apart from the [[Gravemind]] speaking in the background, which may result in the name of this track. This is a classic [[Flood]] motif, meant to involve the player in the game with its fear-instilling beat and sounds. At approximately 1:52, the excerpt dies down and a chorus begins a slow melody. In the '''Floodgate''' gameplay, this would be when the ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' arrives at the [[Battle of Voi]], and also at the point where the Arbiter kills the Prophet of Truth. After this (at around 2:50), another chorus will begin a second Flood musical, except this part was made solely for the ''Halo 3 Original Soundtrack''. This beat is generally based on a group of singers, and has an eerie feeling to it. At about 3:12, a short violin solo plays numerous high-pitched notes extremely fast. Finally, the ''Halo 3'' theme plays until the end, with the exception of a drum-solo in the middle of it.	+	The song is relatively quiet until around 1:01, when the music's tempo rises with intense, electrically-generated sounds.
