}}'''"The Warning"''' is the ninth track on the 2007 release ''[[Year Zero]].'' This song is widely believed to be about [[The Presence]]. At the end of the album version of the song is the static noise that was included at the end of the leaked version of "[[My Violent Heart]]," which revealed The Presence when ran through a spectrogram.
A song with [[The Warning (With Teeth song)|the same title]] appears on the [[With Teeth (halo)|''With Teeth'']] PDF poster, but is not featured on the album. When the 2019 Definitive Edition vinyl of ''With Teeth'' was released, the poster was re-created as part of the packaging. Lyrics to "The Warning" were made legible and it was finally revealed that while the two songs are not the same, the track from ''Year Zero'' has its origins in the track from the ''With Teeth'' sessions.
