}}'''"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.

The song title appears on the [[With Teeth (halo)|''With Teeth'']] poster but is not featured on the album. It is possible, though exceptionally unlikely, that the song was recorded during the ''With Teeth'' sessions.
==Versions==
===The Warning===
This is the original album version.
===The Warning: Real World===
This remix featuring African drummer Doudou N'Diaye Rose is on ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D.'' It starts with a piano melody that is joined by drum elements. The verse features the vocals over a drum beat accompanied by a droning synth. Oddly enough, the lyric "You piss it all away" was censored on this mix. The new synths and the drums create an even more foreboding atmosphere than what is heard in the ''Year Zero'' original. At the end a sound element similar to the guitar in the original is heard under the fading synths.

==Lyrics==
Some say it was a warning
Some say it's a sign
I was standing right there
When it came down from the sky
The way it spoke to us
You felt it from inside
Said it was up to us
Up to us to decide
"You've become a virus
Killing off his host
We been watching you with all of our eyes
And what you seem to value most
So much potential
Or so we used to say
Your greed, self-importance and your arrogance
You piss it all away
We heard her cry
We have come to intervene
You will change your ways and you will make amends
Or we will wipe this place clean"
Your time is ticking away
The second line is said as follows in the actual recording:
Some say it was a sign
That last line of the song is said as follows in the actual recording:
Your time is tick-tick-ticking away
