Theme
An accelerated waltz serving as the album's instrumental finale and conceptual climax. Where a traditional Genesis narrative depicts God's creation, Ghost's instrumental presents the birth of the Antichrist—a twisted genesis of darkness rather than light. Through fast arpeggios that escalate and fall in crescendos, the track captures the moment of infernal nativity itself, a purely musical representation of apocalyptic arrival. The album's final moments crescendo into the beginning of Infestissumam's narrative, where the Antichrist's reign begins.
