Here come manticores! Here come manticores!
Dealing manticore pain!
Milling and killing, I saw them appear
from their dark domain!
Claws are reaming, children screaming,
anyone know a knight?
So run for cover and feel real scared,
as manticores run tonight

Here come manticores! Here come manticores!
All of them look the same.
Spiky tail, face of a man,
a lion's legs and mane!
They're not myth, so run forthwith
let me go first- screw "polite",
They'll soon be fed- they catch you, you're dead
as manticores munch and bite!

Here come manticores! Here come manticores!
One just got my friend Wayne.
Spiked through the chest, it's quite a mess,
looks like a major vein.
Blood is spurting, choppers circling
but no cops are in sight.
So feet, don't fail or step where Wayne bled
he's manticore fun tonight.

Here come manticores! Here come manticores!
How are manticores slain?
Shoot them or boot them? Would garlic suit them?
Holy water? Flame?
Then trucks appear, the army's here
those buggers are in for a fight.
Fill them with lead, and aim for the head
The mainticore's gunned tonight!
