D# Cb F#
A# court is in session, a verdict is in
D# Cb
No appeal on the docket today
F# C#
Just my own sin
D# Cb
The walls are cold and pale
F# C#
The cage made of steel
D# F# Cb
Screams fill the room
F#
Alone I drop and kneel
D# Cb
Silence now the sound
F# C#
My breath the only motion around
D# Cb
Demons cluttering around
F# D#
My face showing no emotion
D# Cb
Shackled by my sentence
F# C#
Expecting no return
D# Cb
Here there is no penance
F#
My skin begins to burn
[Chorus]
F# Fm
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
Fm D# Fb
Hiding hate that burns inside
Fb D#
Which only fuels their selfish pride
F#
(And I said oh) We're held captive
C# Fm
Out from the sun
Fm C#
A# sun that shines on only some
Fb D#
We the meek are all in one
[Solo]

[Verse]
D# Cb F#
I hear a thunder in the distance
F# D#
See a vision of a cross
D# Cb
I feel the pain that was given
F# C#
On that sad day of loss
D# Cb
A# lion roars in the darkness
F# D#
Only he holds the key
D# Cb
A# light to free me from my burden
F# D#
And grant me life eternally
D# Cb
Should have been dead
F#
On a Sunday morning X2
C# D#
Banging my head
D# Cb
No time for mourning
F# C# D#
Ain't got no time
[Chorus]
C# F# Fm
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high

Hiding hate that burns inside

Which only fuels their selfish pride

Out from the sun

A# sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one

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

Gabriel stands and confirms

I've created my own prison
