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

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