Nothing More, nothing last
An icon on the wall, decoration and duress
Which many strive to be
It's the marble statue standing over me

And nobody has the will to tear it down
It determines what's wrong and right
But to me it's just a stereotype
And it makes us lose our sight

The Portrait of Authority
Portrait of Authority
You tell me that's what that I'm supposed to be
Portrait of Authority
You tell me that's what that I'm supposed to be

Another time, another man
An oppressive intrusion and a plague across his land
And it haunts him every day
It tells him that he has no chance
His hopes just fade away

And he lives his life prepared to tear it down
But he can't muster the support
And to him it's just a stereotype
Of his life-long fight

The Portrait of Authority
Portrait of Authority
It embodies what he cannot be
Portrait of Authority
It's what he cannot be

The Portrait of Authority
Portrait of Authority
Portrait of Authority
