I wasn't sure what to think of this song at first- while it has a KILLER beat and awesome vocals, the message of the song was a bit unclear.
After a bit of consideration I think I've figured out an interpretation that seems to fit it best.

And the line, "Forgive this tribe" seems to be a desperate attempt of one person who cares to apologize for the acts of the rest of their kind.
Personally I don't see how religion and whatnot can be tied into this, it doesn't seem to go that way at all.

I find it amazing that so many artists get the bigger picture... I think everything could be about to change.
