The Final Phantasm (King of House Moonlit Torch)
Maximalist Big Beat, Acid Gospel, Funk Metal. 130 bpm, transitioning to 150 bpm. A collision of every genre on the album. Massive, distorted Big Beat drums carry the track. A full gospel choir provides the backing. A virtuoso electric guitar shreds a screaming, psychedelic solo throughout. Thick, acid synthesizer lines weave in and out. The vocals are manic, authoritative, and shouted—a King commanding the oceans to rise. The track features a "false ending" followed by a chaotic acceleration of tempo.

Lyrics
Intro
Slow, epic orchestral swell
Guitar feedback rising in pitch
Spoken Word - Echoing
(I have seen the beginning.)
(And I have seen the end.)
(And I have decided...)
(To mix them together!)
Massive Drum Fill
Explosion!
Beat drops - Heavy, fast, and funky
Verse 1
I stare directly at the burning sun!
I am the Illuminated, I’m the Only One!
The phantoms dance at my supreme command
I hold the galaxy inside my hand!
I see the army, I see the fleet!
I see the devils worship at my feet!
You think I'm crazy? You think I'm mad?
This is the best hallucination that I ever had!
(Wooo!)
Chorus
Choir and Lead Vocal unison - Anthemic
The Final Phantasm!
(It’s real!)
The Final Phantasm!
(It’s real!)
I'm riding the lightwave into the hell!
I'm ringing the Universal Liberty Bell!
King Theron is awake!
The reality is a fake!
(Tear it down!)
Verse 2
I’m remixing the physics, I’m changing the code
I’m driving the chariot down the wrong road
The Titan is riding in the passenger seat
Keeping the time to the funky beat!
I see the Spider, I see the Snake
I see the beautiful mess that we make!
Gravity is just a suggestion, my friend
We are accelerating to the bitter end!
Guitar Solo
32-bar blistering, psychedelic funk-metal guitar solo
Acid synth squelches underneath
Chorus
The Final Phantasm!
(It’s real!)
The Final Phantasm!
(It’s real!)
I'm riding the lightwave into the hell!
I'm ringing the Universal Liberty Bell!
King Theron is awake!
The reality is a fake!
Bridge - The Breakdown
Music stops abruptly. Silence for 2 seconds.
Soft, eerie synth pad
Whispered
(Is it gone?)
(Did we win?)
(No...)
(I can still see them.)
(They are beautiful.)
(Louder.)
(LOUDER!)
The Build
Snare roll starts slow and speeds up
Choir starts chanting
(Phantasm! Phantasm! Phantasm!)
(Truth is a lie! Truth is a lie!)
(One! Two! One! Two! Three! Four!)
The Drop - Maximum Chaos
Tempo increases to 150 bpm
Everything plays at once - Horns, Guitars, Synths, Drums
(Yeah!)
(Burn it all!)
(I am the King of the Void!)
(I am the King of the Noise!)
Outro
Tempo accelerates uncontrollably
Manic laughter
(Faster!)
(Faster!)
(I can see forever!)
(I can see...)
Sound of a massive tape reel snapping
Abrupt, total silence
