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
