The song opens by echoing the [[Opening Suite]] from the ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]'' until around 1:50, when the suite switches military-style snare drums, and quickly turns into ''[[The Last Spartan]]'', a track from the first Halo 2 disc. At around 5:30, the tracks takes on a mystic, reverent tune, with echoing digital noises sounding in every few seconds. This lasts for a minute or so before changing to digital chimes, and from there onto more digital noises and fragments of soft choirs. This goes on until the song concludes with a gong.
