The painting on the walls
Used to be my portrait
But now it seems I've been replacedAll doors are locked around me
There is no way in nor out
Times they change, love turned to hateYesterday I walked through the halls of power
My head held high proud as a king
This was once my temple, a vision that came true
And I had the wind beneath my wingsMighty men is suits create the future
With dollars signs on their twisted minds
This time there was no part in it for meI hear tomorrow screaming my name
And the call is heard all around the world
I guess I was just far too blind to seeSo when the curtain falls
There is no seat saved for the broken heroAccess, access denied
To the fortress of my heart
Access, access deniedYouth has passed me by and I was just a puppet
Controlled by masters without soul
Mr. Know It Alls got the better of me
Next time I won't take the fallLike a homeless child I walk through alleys
And I still can't find any peace of mind
So hard to recall if I feel it beforeWhen I grab my pillow made of granite
Thinking back a while to the restless times
My minds made up I will strike back by dawnBut when the crowds are gone
There is no one there for the fallen heroAccess, access denied
To the fortress of my heart
Access, access deniedAccess, access denied
To the fortress of my heart
Access, access deniedI've been thrown to the dogs
The vultures picking on my bones
With my voice still loud and clear
Someday I'll return once moreThe painting on the walls
Used to be my portrait
Now I know I've been replaced
