lyrics

Once before a peaceful town
Til' the burden came around
The mornin' after feelin down
Burnt down to ashes, burnt down to ashes

So we called upon The Mantis
To see it fly, to find the one who did this
To bind his arms, and bring us justice
Our innocence is lost; how he will pay the cost

The faithful chanted through the streets
To bring The Mantis to it's feet
When it arose it didn't speak
It knew its mission and it was vicious

So we called upon The Mantis
To see it fly, to find the one who did this
To kill, to kill, to kill

Our innocence is lost
How will he pay the cost?

Our innocence is lost
