Cockroach King

Tantalized by the cockroach and its promise
 I fantasized about soaring with golden wings (Flying with gold wings)
 Hypnotized by the cockroach and its 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 its 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
 ♪
 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 built on guile and greed
 A bleeding ground for those who heed
 ♪
 The grand illusion faded
 The hunter snares its 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 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 its 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 (Blackened-wings-to-fly)
 (The roach of irony)
 Choking on the roach of fallacy
 Thankfully (Burning-ashes-of-the-hunter)
 (Actually when longed to be a disciple)
 When the mirage finally melted
 The impurity (Scattered-in-the-sky)
 (Flying with black wings)
 Of the cockroach was revealed to me
