๐ Lyrics
Tantalized by the cockroach and it's promise
I fantasized 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"
The hunter draws closer to its prey
Vacantly I was gazing at the mirage
I yearned to be an 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
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
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
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
I fantasized 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"
The hunter draws closer to its prey
Vacantly I was gazing at the mirage
I yearned to be an 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
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
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
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
