|
Tantalized by the cockroach and it's promise |
|
I fantasised about soaring with golden wings |
|
"Flying with gold wings" |
|
Hypnotized by the cockroach and it's promise |
|
I was compromised by a treasure |
|
That was fit for fools |
|
"Lured by a fool's gold" |
|
Blinded by a fickle fortune |
|
Diamonds in my eyes |
|
Blinded by the grand illusion |
|
Golden wings to fly |
|
The hunter draws closer to it's prey |
|
Vacantly I was gazing at the mirage |
|
I yearned to be a apostle |
|
Of the selfmade man |
|
Hopelessly I bathed in my ignorance |
|
Desperately toking on the roach of irony |
|
My fickle fortune beckoned |
|
A treasure fit for fools |
|
The hunter draws closer to it's prey |
|
I blindly wandered down the golden path |
|
In pursuit of a misbegotten dream |
|
The great gatsby whispered in my ears |
|
The road from rags to riches leads nowhere |
|
The grand illusion beckoned |
|
With promises of deceit |
|
[Chorus] |
|
The Cockroach King sits on his throne |
|
With the midas touch and a heart of stone |
|
An empire build on guile and greed |
|
A bleeding ground for those who heed |
|
The grand illusion faded |
|
The hunter snares it's prey |
|
I fear and loathe the cockroach |
|
The mirage melts away |
|
[Chorus] |
|
The Cockroach King sits on his throne |
|
With the midas touch and a heart of stone |
|
An empire build on guile and greed |
|
A bleeding ground for those who heed |
|
Lured by a treasure that was fit for fools |
|
"Searching for the truth" |
|
Lost in this labyrinth in search of the truth |
|
"With your promises of deceit" |
|
Trapped in your kingdom build on greed and guile |
|
"Build on greed and guile" |
|
Only to find the insects have multiplied |
|
[Chorus] |
|
The Cockroach King of guile and greed |
|
With a broken crown he's left to bleed |
|
An empire falling to it's knees |
|
A bleeding ground for those who heed |
|
I longed to be a disciple of the cockroach |
|
I was hopelessly choking |
|
On the roach of fallacy |
|
"The roach of irony" |
|
Thankfully when the mirage finally melted |
|
The impurity of the cockroach was revealed to me |
|
"The roach of irony" |
|
Blinded by the grand illusion |
|
Blackened wings to fly |
|
Burning ashes of the hunter |
|
Scattered in the sky |
