Haken & Courtney Swain
Ectobius is a type of cockroach, and “Rex” direclty translates to “King” from the latin language, so
“Ectobius Rex” is an indirect way of referencing the “Cockroach King”, a song and character from Haken’s album “The Mountain”.
[Intro]
[Verse]
Putrefied by the masses
We fall to rise through the suffering
Reign of fire, spread the ashes
Your victor cries, "Hail to the King"
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Crawl out of my skin, a cell keeps dividing
Memories of electricity
Rid this plague within, the veil finally lifts
Jumping from my tower of ivory
Crawl out of my skin, a cell keeps dividing
Memories of electricity
Rid this plague within, the veil finally lifts
Jumping from my tower of ivory
[Outro]
