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" 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 self made 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
