Haken - Cockroach King lyrics
[Haken - Cockroach King lyrics]
Tantalized by the cockroach and it's promise
(Blinded by a fickle fortune) i fantasized
(Flying with gold wings) about soaring with
Golden wings (Diamonds in my eyes)
Hypnotized (Hypnotized by) by (Tantalized) the cockroach and it's promise (By the cockroach, Blinded by the grand illusion)
I was compromised
(Lured by a fool's gold) by a treasure that
Was fit for fools (Golden wings to fly)
The hunter draws closer to it's prey
Vacantly I was gazing at the mirage
I yearned to be an apostle
Of the self made man
Hopelessly I bathed in my ignorance
Desperately toking on the roach of irony
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh) My fickle fortune beckoned
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh) 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 ear
The road from rags to riches leads nowhere
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh) The
Grand illusion beckoned
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh) With promises of deceit
The Cockroach King sit's on his throne
With the Midas touch and a heart of stone
An empire built on guile and greed
A bleeding ground for those who heed
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh) The grand illusion's faded
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh) The
Hunter snares it's prey
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh) I fear
And loathe the cockroach
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh) The mirage melts away
The Cockroach King sit's on his throne
With the Midas touch and a heart of stone
An empire built 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 built
On greed and guile
(Built 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
(Blinded by the grand illusion)
I was hopelessly
(The roach of irony) choking on the roach
Of fallacy (Blackened wings to fly)
Thankfully (Thankfully when) when the (Longed to be a disciple) mirage finally melted (Burning ashes of the hunter)
The impurity (Flying with black wings) of
The cockroach was
Revealed to me (Scattered in the sky)
(Blinded by a fickle fortune) i fantasized
(Flying with gold wings) about soaring with
Golden wings (Diamonds in my eyes)
Hypnotized (Hypnotized by) by (Tantalized) the cockroach and it's promise (By the cockroach, Blinded by the grand illusion)
I was compromised
(Lured by a fool's gold) by a treasure that
Was fit for fools (Golden wings to fly)
The hunter draws closer to it's prey
Vacantly I was gazing at the mirage
I yearned to be an apostle
Of the self made man
Hopelessly I bathed in my ignorance
Desperately toking on the roach of irony
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh) My fickle fortune beckoned
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh) 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 ear
The road from rags to riches leads nowhere
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh) The
Grand illusion beckoned
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh) With promises of deceit
The Cockroach King sit's on his throne
With the Midas touch and a heart of stone
An empire built on guile and greed
A bleeding ground for those who heed
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh) The grand illusion's faded
