verse 1(mantis):

we're taking giant leaps
goliath speaks
rely on science
and it'll take you
to the highest peaks
the blind leading the blind
into the fire
each blinded by desire
but reminded
when messiah reach
we're in the cyber age
where we want to
wash the signs of age away
like gravy in a microwave
you see the signs of rage
it's time for change
a baby was smothered
and two crazy lovers
died today
it's all futuristic
super twisted
crucifixes
computer chips and mystics
i'm jumping in
punching skin
with new ballistics
making music in the zoo
under lunar eclipses
we've got to do it different
before there's mass slaughter
you threw the baby out
with the bath water
meditate
and penetrate the black aura
that's wrapped around the planet
or ask mantis
about the formula

he'll crack it for ya


hook(mantis):

i'm standing
on the shoulders
of giants
taking leaps
pesticyde
knows the science
to make the beats
props to those
who've contributed
to the music
falcon and stranded
in the booth
with the fuse lit
we do it for the love
and we're fluid
with the movement
like a kung fu student
removing the dew
from a tulip
with a smooth kick
like bruce lee
on the mic
more wisdom than confucius
it's the truth
that we write


verse 2(falcon):

leapt off this burning ship
try to never look back
heart is like a molten raft
in ashes of the heavens crash
murderous collective
haunted
hollow shell of man
all scoured of morality
left hanging by a severed strand
pillaging it senseless
the highest order parasites
a scourge to other beings
leaving any land
a barren sight
while most of planet earth
never even had a voice
not just those in poverty
animals eradicated
pointless
insolence
disgusting
nature is this earth's mother
narcissistic vultures
nerve to defile her many wonders
certainly the dumbest
aggressive
least harmonious
an egoic demon carnage
we seem to deem as holy dust
at our peak development
no value to compassion
synonymous destruction
lives inherent with expansion
sitting on dismal shore
before it's all abandoned
clutch a final shred of honor
hear the ravens calling
rabid


hook(mantis):

verse 3(stranded):

the idea of destiny
when you appreciate
something so much
you feel it's meant to be
fast forward
amass forests
'walkingsticks forever' trees
carved
alongside the death of leaves
growth beyond
what ordinary eyes
expect to see
therein lies the essence
see
questions require interest
to be posed
and probed
disclosing the science kept beneath
on the planet of curiosity
waves
approach your brain
amphidromically
at tides
with ultra-(capsize titanic) properties
intelligence
is an umbrella fish
on a hippocampal odyssey
whose tentacles
strangle knowledge
as it swims in THE amniotic sea

phantom robotic streams
of consciousness
shot at me
penetrate my atmosphere
land
and spend time with me
this companionship i receive
is more substantial
than god degree
the value
placed on its importance
expands beyond belief
when they confide in me
i don't betray their privacy
for as i expect the same
i behave with reciprocity
relationships are destroyed
by the ways of mephistopheles
i prefer to avoid
what such a vague
web of lies achieves
i mean no harm
comrades
are NOT to be alarmed
in an instance
where i seem
to be offensive
your eyes are seeing wrong
there's a
significant difference
between how things
seem and are
such as
the time it takes
eyes to see light
that leaves a star
