Access Denied Songtext
von Altaria

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 change, love turns 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 wind beneath my wings

Mighty men in suits
Create the future
With god′s eyes 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-all's
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′ve 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 vultures picking on my bones
With my voice still loud and clear
Someday I'll return once more

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 be my portrait
And now I know I′ve been replaced
