    Haken: So what's your idea for the video?
    Diretor: Bohemian Rhapsody but Muppets
    Haken: ...Deal!

    The Haken members sit down to write a new song. The lead singer: “What time signature should we write this in?” The drummer, philosophically: “What is time?”

      The guitar player: "there is no time, it is just an instant illusion"
      The bass player: "we are time"
      The singer: "if time doesn't exist, what it should be if not music?"
      The producer: "Obviously they shall be switched. But on time for the album exit"

    Tantalized by the cockroach and it's promise
    I fantasised 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 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 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
    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
    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
    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

    This video is the greatest tribute to Queen EVER!
    This is a great version of the multi vocal lines and postures of Bohemian Rhapsody! Watch the Bohemian Rhapsody video and then this and you will see.
    Haken made a perfect job paying honors to Queen, with a great song and an AWESOME video!
    Just unbelievable!

      The vocals are much more of a Gentle Giant influence, if anything. Although there's an obvious commercial interest in implying a Queen influence which is actually in the video not the music.
      Great video, regardless.

    I know Haken since some years now. And there are so many prog bands I love, may it be Genesis, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Rush, Tool, Flower Kings, Spock's Beard, IQ, Marillion, Porcupine Tree or all the other not so popular but great prog bands. But Haken have a special place in my heart, which just belongs to them and although I like all the other bands pretty much - returning "back" to Haken feels like coming home every time.
