《Portrait Of Authority - live (Live)》歌词

[00:02:52] Nothing more, nothing less

[00:02:52] An icon on the wall, decoration and duress

[00:02:52] That which many strive to be

[00:02:52] It's the marble statue staring over me

[00:02:52] And nobody has the will to tear it down

[00:02:52] It determines wrong and right

[00:02:52] But to me it's just a stereotype

[00:02:52] And it makes us lose our sight

[00:02:52] The portrait of authority

[00:02:52] You tell me that's what I'm supposed to be

[00:02:52] Another time, another man

[00:02:52] An oppressive intrusion, a plague across his land

[00:02:52] And it haunts him every day

[00:02:52] It tells him that he has no chance, his hopes just fade away

[00:02:52] And he lives his life prepared to tear it down

[00:02:52] But he can't muster the support

[00:02:52] And to him it's just a stereotype

[00:02:52] Of his life long fight

[00:02:52] The portrait of authority

[00:02:52] It embodies what he cannot be
