Cyril Glaume Jeter une oreille sur Cursed Mantis c’est risquer de croiser des tourbillons de synthé flashy, du Metal extrême plein de glaviots, du chant féminin qui badine, des croûtes de fromages non pasteurisés et d’ambitieuses constructions techniques frappées du sceau de sa Majesté Nawak.

Introduction 00:39

Somewhere in space A story takes place About a cursed race Who had to face They had to face their destiny And fulfill the prophecy A cheesy space adventure now awaits you Who knows perhaps it’s true?

Cheesy Curse 02:03
Let’s pray for food! Let’s eat our prey! Long, long ago the mantis were a brutal kind Then they were punished, now they’re hungry but they’re kind Cursed mantis - now they can only eat cheese Cheese, cheese, more cheese Mantis in space is a cursed race They are not welcome any place Their stomachs are never filled Their hunger is never stilled Long, long ago the mantis were a brutal kind Now all they eat is ... Cheese

After this fateful day Nothing would ever be the same way On his way to buy some breakfast The weather was hot But he was cool cause He was a mantis man who used his wings as a fan Claws held in prayer But sharp as a slayer An expert at cutting cheese He'd mastered the perfect slice This day would be the turning point Little did he know that from now on His life would change forever He had heard the prophecy But never thought he’d live to see this day After this fateful, fateful, fateful day Nothing would ever be the same way

Run Out 01:30
- “I would like to buy some cheese” - “No, we have run out of cheese” - “How come you’ve run out of cheese??” - “Eeemergency!” Time’s up! Time’s up! Gotta get going Now that all the cheese is gone Once again we leave our homes We’re always on the run We can not survive for much longer So if we don’t want to die We gotta search on every planet Hurry up! Let’s fly! Time’s up! Time’s up! Gotta get going now that all the cheese is gone Gotta search on every planet Hurry up! Let’s fly!

A Passageway 00:43

“Listen up! you can think of space As an enormous cheese full of holes. We’re going to use those holes to travel faster!” Searching, looking, scanning, snooping... Orientating without a map is not an easy thing You could always fall into a trap or you could hurt your wing! We’re traveling in space, a limitless, endless place Who knows what’s gonna happen to us on our journey?! Searching and looking and scanning and snooping And getting hungrier every minute Searching for, longing for, yearning for Hoping to once again taste what they truly desire Traveling in space a limitless place Yellow, mellow Who knows what will happen on our

Her white scales are spikey, antennas so long! Yellow wings, heart-shaped face stares at him with purple eyes She was the most beautiful thing he had seen A mantis so powerful and yet so lean! As if she came right from his dream An alien queen! Our hero is going mad! How long was it since he ate?? Now he has started to hallucinate Most beautiful thing he had seen As if she came right from his dream He throws himself mindlessly out in space A meteor’s coming in a rapid pace It’s flying towards him and almost hits him in the face! Wake up... Wake up... Wake up... Ah!
9.
Swimsuit 01:06
Stupid idea! But since they were desperate, they couldn't deny it, they had to try it! Swimsuit – check! Protective mask- check! 1,2,3, dive! Mantis going marine should never have been! Their bodies are slim and they can not swim - they sink!

At the bottom there were funny creatures Who looked like them but different features Colourful armors, very sharp claws They told them that they were the mantis shrimps They had evolved into a super species True survivors of the sea Any other fish would be Envious of this supreme marine “Long ago we were like you we sunk like steel, dear cousins, you came in time for our meal!”
12.
RUN 01:37
In Zolarynx mind: Don’t ... panic ... Breathe! How much air is left in the oxygen tank? Feels like my mind is going blank... We would never win a fight Here they are superior Frozen in fear he thought “If I only had a gun...” RUN! Not watching his steps he tripped And fell into a hole in the ground The captain tried to catch him But the others came from behind Crashing into each other Running for their lives not using their eyes They tripped and crashed until they all fell down They fell... and fell... and fell... and fell... and then they saw...
13.
Finally the day has come When we will get our sweet reward! Our days of searching through ‘Cause all our dreams have now come true! Come on mantis let’s rejoice, Lets celebrate and have a feast Eat until your stomach's full For we have found the galaxy of cheese! The galaxy of cheese! Solar system main menu: Planet starters Main course: Yummy stars with creamy fill Moon dessert: Asteroid snacks Feast, feast, feast, feast - The galaxy of cheese Feast, feast, feast, feast - The galaxy of cheese Eat, eat, eat, eat - The galaxy of cheese Cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese Waaahh, all you can eat! Dutch, Brie, Gouda, Camembert, Edam, Cheddar, Swiss, Dorblu, Yaroslavl, Lambert! Eat, eat, rinse it! Rinse it, rinse it, wipe it clean! Hungry mantis lived their dream And in a slurp before you knew it The galaxy was gone!

Under Attack 00:57
Ow! Ouch! Ouch! Just as they were finishing the last bit Zolarynx was suddenly hit By a light purple laser beam Coming from a little planet they hadn’t seen Ow, ow ow! Ow, ow, ow! Ow, ow, ow! Ow, ow, ow! Captain: Who are you? Who dares to attack us out of the blue? Show yourself or die!

Swiss Padow 03:16
Living in outer space Trapped in a maze He’s undefeated, he’s got laser shooting towers! Flying too close to stars gave him those scars You have to beware of his mathematic powers 1 x 1 + 2 x 1 + 1 x 1 335,575 x 1 Living in outer space Trapped in a maze He’s undefeated, he’s got laser shooting towers! Flying too close to stars gave him those scars You have to beware of his mathematic powers

The Plea 01:53
It went so fast Watching from the shadows As they ate it piece by piece Ruins of the world he used to know Padow: This planet is my home Please leave my cheese alone! A whole galaxy is gone! Now go away! Begone! One last planet! ...bzz .....xxrrgrg..... ………pzzzzt ........... It’s a vision of blood! Zolarynx: We don’t wanna do this But we’ve really got no choice 'Cause we’ve been cursed to pay for crimes Committed by someone else long ago But if you find a way to break the curse We’ll go away and never return

Working under pressure works so well 'Cause he’s a calculating mastermind How he’s building a gigantic screen It’s Padow’s Marvelous Machine! “X+X = XX - X = X That explains a lot!” Working under pressure works so well 'Cause he’s a calculating master mind This is something no one has ever seen It’s Padows Marvelous Machine! It's looking very fucking cool! Very COOL! very COOL! Its looking VERY fucking cool! Working under pressure works so well 'Cause he’s a calculating genious It’s looking very cool, perhaps it works It’s Padow’s Marvelous Machine!

Blue Planet 02:05
Mal- function Mal-function Mal-function Maaaa-a-a-al funkk... Something smells weird Perhaps it's broken Finally the curse was broken But there were some side-effects Little did they know that from now on Their lives would change forever Now they no longer craved for cheese They, once again, were preying beasts But just as they prepared to feed They shrunk in an enormous speed They shrunk until they disappeared Into the darkness, transported Sent through time and space At last they came to a little planet that was blue
