The song combines deep strings with a piano rhythm to create an imposing, suspense filled piece. Towards the end, a higher string set creates a building crescendo, accompanied by a vocal set reminiscent of the one at the end of [[The Last Spartan]].

Though its title suggests its association with [[New Mombasa]], the '[[Earth]] City', it is frequently played as the theme of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]'s [[Scarab]] walker. It is first played in the Halo 2 E3 2003 demo when the Master Chief mans the gun of a Gauss Warthog and continues on until the end of the demo. This is the only time when the music is not associated with the Scarab. It first appears in the final game when the [[D77H-TCI Pelican|Pelicans]] launched from {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} encounter the Scarab in the cinematic before {{Levelname|Outskirts}}. It is later played during {{Levelname|Metropolis}} when the [[John-117|Master Chief]] encounters [[Wraith]]s outside a [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] Command Post, just after a Scarab passes through. Shortly afterward, it is again played as the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s carrier prepares to make a [[Slipstream Space]] jump, while the ''In Amber Clad'' attempts to intercept it.

Lastly, it is again played when a Scarab is encountered, this time it is as [[Thel 'Vadam|the Arbiter]] escorts a Scarab commandeered by [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]] in the jungle of [[Installation 05|Delta Halo]], during the level {{Levelname|The Great Journey}}.
