Portrait on the Wall - Excalion

I was never a child at all

I was raised to stand as tall as father’s immemorial

Born to be a portrait on the wall

I am the race car, they’re the timer

I’m the firstborn, set for higher power than I care to be

It is not for me

Blue blood, bound by fate

Son of a steel magnate

Golden chains are so hard to bear…

Railway tracks are my life story

From Rome to London, I wield the glory of the gold and green

It should not be for me

Blue blood, bound by fate

Son of a steel magnate

Golden chains are so hard to bear…

One day I’ll revise the story

A door will close one final time

Path will be mine only to the unknown

One was born to rule a nation

To rule with fists of gold and steel

There will be no name or station unknown to the world

One night in Dublin at last

On the shore I hold fast to the treasure that I carry along

A painting that I worked on for so long

Blue blood, heart gone black

Finally not turning back

World of the old, it’s ending here

Today I’ll revise the story

A door will close one final time

This path will be mine only to the unknown

One was born to rule a nation

To rule with fists of gold and steel

Today will be no name or station unknown to the world…

(Act II: Repentance)

On the docks against the nightfall

I should take the step if I dare

With the painting hidden away

About to sail to Delaware

My portrait, picture of my life

Father’s face blended with mine

Destiny, it always gets you in the end of the line…

This will never hang on a wall

Down there in the ancestor’s hall

On the final break of a day

Atlantic washes me away

My colors away

(Act III: To the New World)

Today I’ll revise the story

A door will close one final time

This path will be mine only to the unknown

One was born to rule a nation

To rule with fists of gold and steel

There will be no name or station unknown to the world

Today I’ll revise the story

A door will close one final time

This path will be mine only to the unknown

One was born to rule a nation

To rule with fists of gold and steel

There will be no name or station unknown to the world, oh

Unknown to the world…
