Tantalized by the [bad word] and it's promise
I fantasised about soaring with golden wings
"Flying with gold wings"

Hypnotized by the [bad word] and it's promise
I [bad word] 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 selfmade man
Hopelessly I bathed in my ignorance
Desperately toking on the roach of irony

My fickle fortune beckoned
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
 [bad word] 
The [bad word] King sits on his throne
With the midas touch and a heart of stone
An empire build on guile and greed
bleeding ground for those who heed

The grand illusion faded
The hunter snares it's prey
I fear and loathe the [bad word] The mirage melts away
 [bad word] 
The [bad word] King sits on his throne
With the midas touch and a heart of stone
An empire build on guile and greed
bleeding ground for those who heed

Lured by a treasure that was fit for fools
"Searching for the [bad word] 
Lost in this labyrinth in search of the [bad word] "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
 [bad word] 
The [bad word] King of guile and greed
With a broken crown he's left to bleed
An empire falling to it's knees
bleeding ground for those who heed

I longed to be a disciple of the [bad word] I was hopelessly choking
On the roach of fallacy
"The roach of irony"

Thankfully when the mirage finally melted
The impurity of the [bad word] 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
