Composer: Martin O'Donnell, Michael Salvatori
Disc: 1/2
Track: 2/21

Blow Me Away is a song from the Halo 2 Vol. 1 soundtrack (Track 2) by the post-grunge band Breaking Benjamin. The song was written specifically for the soundtrack, and was later featured on the band's 2004 EP So Cold (Track 2). The song also earned moderate success on music charts though is mainly known for it's appearance in Halo 2, where it is still considered as the top song in the soundtrack by many Halo fans.
This track plays during the battle between the Brutes, Hunters, and the Elites in the Mausoleum of the Arbiter at the end of 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.

Although it originally could be, this song could not be purchased on iTunes under any Halo soundtrack or any Breaking Benjamin album. As of February 2010 the song is once again available, this time as a single.
