The song ends with fast, thrashy riff with Cavalera chanting "New millennium tribal War" four times.Lyrics
According to the lyrics, the song deals with prophecies surrounding tribes devastating cities in the desert next to the Red Sea, then marching to Mountains of Zion. While marching the way, he sees a blind sheep, crown of thorns, and flag of the conquering lion. After reaching the destination, prophecy continues with tribal war in the new millennium.Music video
