Holy shit they kill this live. It sounds freaking perfect. The harmonies, the mix, the performance. It’s all perfect.

[RushBanane]

Came here after having doubts on the vocalist live performances.. got proven wrong !! Congrats

[jamiepastman]

On a Gentle Giant youtube a fellow enthusiast recommended i check these guys out. I am really really really fucking impressed!

[MrDivagation]

Wooow, the level of mastery of this live is crazy !

[lehtspelt]

I wish I could see them live, Cockroach King seems like a killer live song!

[simonbarnes]

A criminally underrated band. These should be bigger than the are

[bonifasiusanggara]

Beautiful song, with beautiful vocal, with beautiful technique, this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

[MasterFlarg]

Why can't I find a live clip of Ross sounding this good in the other live performances after this one. Unless enough people aren't going to see Haken, I've been waiting for tour dates in the US for a little while now.

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
I was hopelessly (Blackened-wings-to-fly)
(The roach of irony)
Choking on the roach of fallacy
Thankfully
(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

[Hazy]

Wonderful marriage of Gentle Giant and King Crimson produced a genious kid - Haken

[luisgonzalo]

Amazing live performance, great song, great band 😎👍

[leboyaunt]

Hearts will burn come what may
With lessons learned along the way
To free myself I make a choice
Just to be heard I lose my voice

Finding strength in solitude
I fight to fly with much to prove
Is this the way it's meant to be?
I risk it all I will not fall

Carry the weight of the world
On my shoulders
Rise to the challenge I set myself

Salvation waits without reprieve
I'm on a razor's edge and it cuts my feet
As good as life will ever get
I wish that I could give it up and go home

"The blood drawn from the Atlas Stone
It draws a path from hell to home"

Fight to survive
Succumb to the path
Conquer the fear and nothing will fail
The quest to define this strunggle of mine
Gravity defied
I climb beyond heights

Carry the weight of the world
On my shoulders
Rise to the challenge I set myself

Shadows of doubt creep into the light
A glimmer of hope never out of sight

Out of sight

Paralyzed under supressive fire
Holding firm against a thin red line

Out of mind

Shadows of doubt creep into the light
A glimmer of hope never out of sight

Out of sight

Paralyzed under supressive fire
Holding firm against a thin red line

Out of mind

Carry the weight of the world
Rise to the challenge I set myself

Carry the weight of the world
On my shoulders
Rise to the challenge I set myself

[dewantawidyaswara]
