Mantis Mecha

[Intro - Clean guitar tapping, odd time signature, then EXPLOSIVE BAND ENTRY]
(Whispered)
Count the threads... weave the gold...
Ahtal-Ka awaits.

[Verse 1 - 13/8 time signature]
I am the mantis at the end of all your quests
The final wall, the ultimate test
My threads are golden, stronger than your steel
I weave and build what you can't feel
A dragonator, a cannon, a throne
I built this fortress all alone

[Pre-Chorus - 7/8]
Count the beats... one two three four five six seven...
Watch me build... my mech suit reaching heaven...
AHTAL-KA! WRONG TIME SIGNATURE!

[Chorus]
AHTAL-KA! BUILDER OF THE GOLDEN THRONE!
AHTAL-KA! I CONSTRUCT AND I DETHRONE!
AHTAL-KA! DRAGONATORS IN MY HANDS!
AHTAL-KA! I CONTROL THESE FINAL LANDS!

[Verse 2 - 15/16]
Phase one—I'm just a mantis, small and quick
My golden threads will make you sick
But patience, hunter—wait and see
The best is yet to come for thee

[Pre-Chorus 2 - 11/8]
Golden threads... spinning, weaving, building higher...
Watch me now... construct my heart's desire...
AHTAL-KA! PHASE TWO—NOW YOU'RE IN THE FIRE!

[Chorus]
AHTAL-KA! BUILDER OF THE GOLDEN THRONE!
AHTAL-KA! I CONSTRUCT AND I DETHRONE!
AHTAL-KA! DRAGONATORS IN MY HANDS!
AHTAL-KA! I CONTROL THESE FINAL LANDS!

[Bridge]
(Spoken)
...and when I throw it?

[Guitar Solo - Math rock tapping, unhinged]

[Final Chorus - 21/16]
AHTAL-KA! BUILDER OF THE GOLDEN THRONE!
AHTAL-KA! I CONSTRUCT AND I DETHRONE!
AHTAL-KA! DRAGONATORS IN MY HANDS!
AHTAL-KA! I CONTROL THESE—

[Outro]
(Whispered, fading)
...final lands.
...I'll weave again.
