Yesterday
There was a praying mantis on my window pane
With its cold eyes it stared and waited
Waited and stared again

Today I catched some spiders
To feed my little friend
Today I catched some flies
For the mantis to pray a lullaby

Yesterday
I woke up sitting on his window pane
With my cold eyes I stared and waited
Waited and stared again

And so it catched some spiders
To feed his brand new friend
And so it catched some flies
For me to pray a lullaby

God
Moves in mysterious ways
God
Divine are all your trails

I will lay in my grave
And I will dream of
I will lay in my grave
Dreaming of my praying mantis
