Preying 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
