Access Denied Lyrics - Altaria

The painting on the walls 

Used to be my portrait 

But now it seems I've been replaced 

All doors are locked around me 

There is no way in nor out 

Times they change, love turned to hate 

Yesterday 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 wings 

Mighty men is suits create the future 

With dollars signs on their twisted minds 

This time there 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 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 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 feel it before 

When I grab my pillow made of granite 

Thinking back a while to the restless times 

My minds 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 fortress of my heart 

Access, access denied 

I've been thrown to the dogs 

The vultures picking on my bones 

With my voice still loud and clear 

Someday I'll return once more 

The painting on the walls 

Used to be my portrait 

Now I know I've been replaced
