The painting on the wall used to be my portrait

But now it seems I've been replaced

All doors are locked around me

There's no way in or out

Times, they changed, love turned to hate

Yesterday, I walk through the halls of power

My head held high, proud as a king

This once was my temple

A vision that came true

And I had wind beneath my wings

Mighty mean in suits create the future

With dotted signs on their twisted minds

This time their was no part in it for me

I hear tomorrow screaming my name

And the call is heard all around the world

I guess I was just far too blind to see

So when the curtain falls

There is no seat saved

For the broken hero

Access, access denied

To the fortress of my heart

Access, access denied

Youth has past me by

And I was a just a puppet

Controlled by masters without soul

Mr. Know-It-Alls got the better of me

Next time I won't take the fall

Like a homeless child, I walk through alleys

And I still can't find any peace of mind

So hard to recall if I felt it before

When I grab my pillow, made of granite

Thinking back a while to the restless times

My mind's made up, I will strike back by dawn

But when the crowds are gone

There is no one there for the fallen hero

Access, access denied

To the fortress of my heart

Access, access denied

Access, access denied

To the kingdom of the Gods

Access, access denied

I've been thrown to the dogs

The one's just picking on my bones

With my voice still loud and clear

Some day I will return once more

[Solo]

Access, access denied

To the fortress of my heart

Access, access denied

Access, access denied

To the kingdom of the Gods

Access, access denied

The painting on the wall, used to my portrait

And now I know I've been replaced
