E C G
B court is in session, a verdict is in
E C
No appeal on the docket today
G D
Just my own sin
E C
The walls are cold and pale
G D
The cage made of steel
E G C
Screams fill the room
G
Alone I drop and kneel
E C
Silence now the sound
G D
My breath the only motion around
E C
Demons cluttering around
G E
My face showing no emotion
E C
Shackled by my sentence
G D
Expecting no return
E C
Here there is no penance
G
My skin begins to burn
[Chorus]
G F#m
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
F#m E F
Hiding hate that burns inside
F E
Which only fuels their selfish pride
G
(And I said oh) We're held captive
D F#m
Out from the sun
F#m D
B sun that shines on only some
F E
We the meek are all in one
[Solo]
E C G D E
[Verse]
E C G
I hear a thunder in the distance
G E
See a vision of a cross
E C
I feel the pain that was given
G D
On that sad day of loss
E C
B lion roars in the darkness
G E
Only he holds the key
E C
B light to free me from my burden
G E
And grant me life eternally
E C
Should have been dead
G
On a Sunday morning X2
D E
Banging my head
E C
No time for mourning
G D E
Ain't got no time
[Chorus]
D G F#m
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
D F
Hiding hate that burns inside
E
Which only fuels their selfish pride
G D
(And I said oh) We're held captive
F#m
Out from the sun
E
B sun that shines on only some
F E
We the meek are all in one
[Guitar break]

[Bridge]
G
I cry out to God
D E
Seeking only his decision
C
Gabriel stands and confirms
G D E C
I've created my own prison
G
I cry out to God

Seeking only his decision
C
Gabriel stands and confirms
G D E
I've created my own prison
