Lyrics:
I was so blinded
To see the bitter truth
Appearances can deceive
You put a spell on me
There was no way to escape
I felt caged for so long
Assumed it was my fault
But now I understand
That I gave my best
Guided by senseless lust
I couldn't think straight
You get all that you want
Like a mantis
You ate my head
Taking my breath
To leave me in agony
Like a mantis
Without mercy
You sucked my blood
To drain my energy
At the beginning
You were very nice
To cover your disguise
Under that pretty mask
A cracked dirty husk
Bipolarity dyes
Your venomous lips
Kiss with apathy
Succubus, vampire countess
I fell into the mirage
A dangerous deceit
Oasis of temptation
I spent so many years
To try to make you happy
Now I know you waste my time
The answer must be snappy
Love is just a trap, a trick of nature
The only way to win is not to play this game
Just have fun and make your own way
Liberty is a treasure
Like a siren, she plunged me into the darkest oceans
Like a spider, she caught me in their sticky cobweb
Like an angel, she took me to a false bright paradise
Pseudo-paradise
A living hell…
You were my mantis
Like a mantis
You ate my head
Taking my breath
To leave me in agony
Like a mantis
Without mercy
You sucked my blood
To drain my energy
Mantis! Mantis! Mantis!
Mantis! Mantis! Mantis!
Like a mantis
You devoured
My sensations
I'm just an empty shell
Like a mantis
With your sharp jaws
You chewed my heart
So that I bleed to death
