[00:11.477]Tantalized by the cockroach and its promise(Blinded by a fickle fortune,) [00:16.980]and I fantasized about soaring with golden wings.(diamonds in my eyes./Flying with golden wings,) [00:22.970]Hypnotized by the cockroach and its promise,(Blinded by the grand illusion,) [00:28.228]I was compromised by a treasure that was fit for fools.(golden wings to fly./lured by a fool's gold.) [00:33.477] [00:33.977]The hunter draws closer [00:39.979]to its prey! [00:47.978] [00:51.227]Vacantly I was gazing at the mirage, [00:56.477]I yearned to be an apostle of the self-made man. [01:02.479]Hopelessly I bathed in my ignorance [01:08.160]and desperately choking on the roach of irony. [01:14.035] [01:17.534]My fickle fortune beckoned [01:21.785]a treasure fit for fools. [01:25.035]And the hunter draws closer [01:30.718]to its prey! [01:39.229] [01:41.971]I blindly wandered down the golden path [01:48.104]in pursuit of a misbegotten dream. [01:53.807]The Great Gatsby whispered in my ear, [01:59.238]road from rags to riches leads nowhere. [02:03.244] [02:08.390]The grand illusion beckoned [02:12.826]with promises of deceit. [02:15.579] [02:17.077]The Cockroach king sits on his throne [02:22.576]with the Midas touch and a heart of stone. [02:28.326]An empire built on guile and greed, [02:33.588]a bleeding ground for those who heed. [02:38.580] [03:16.019]And the grand illusions faded, [03:20.715]the hunter snares its prey. [03:27.588]I fear and loathe the cockroach, [03:31.848]the mirage melts away. [03:34.782] [03:36.218]The Cockroach king sits on his throne [03:41.721]with the Midas touch and a heart of stone. [03:47.212]An empire built on guile and greed, [03:53.120]a bleeding ground for those who heed. [03:57.606](Instrumental) [06:09.746]Lured by a treasure that was fit for fools, [06:13.605]searching for the truth. [06:15.107]Lost in this labyrinth in search of the truth [06:19.354]with your promises of deceit. [06:20.852] [06:21.038]Trapped in your kingdom built on [06:24.046]greed and guile, built on greed and guile, [06:26.798]only to find the insects have multiplied. [06:32.544] [07:05.297]The Cockroach king of guile and greed, [07:10.789]with a broken crown he's left to bleed. [07:16.491]An empire falling to its knees, [07:22.247]a bleeding ground for those who heed. [07:32.430] [07:49.822]I longed to be a disciple of the cockroach,(Blinded by the grand illusion,) [07:55.325]I was hopelessly choking on the roach of fallacy.(blackened wings to fly./The roach of irony!) [08:01.316]Thankfully when the mirage finally melted,(Burning ashes of the hunter) [08:06.565]the impurity of the cockroach was revealed to me.(scattered in the sky.)
