Praying With the Mantis Songtext
von Phantom

Plumes of smoke rising from the city streets below
Stainless steel and candle wax cast a sickly glow
Let us pray
Death will stalk the streets tonight to elevate a grave
The echoed screams of agony ring in the canyon′s break
Each and every day
People, the sun out of a star
Praying with the mantis
Praying with the mantis
Surgical precision but the work is never done
So much sin and so much pain rise with the setting sun
Through darkened panes, the silent eyes watch the canyon floor
The hunter now the hunted when death steps out the door


Each and every day
People, the sun out of a star
Praying with the mantis
Praying with the mantis
Let us pray
Through the deafened silence reach past pyramids of light
Deep into the shadows, the creature of the night
The crush of flesh, caress of steel, the sound of breaking bone
As night fades into nothing, the mantis turns away
People, the sun out of a star
Praying with the mantis
Praying with the mantis
Let us pray
