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

I cry out to God
A B
Seeking only his decision

Gabriel stands and confirms

I've created my own prison

I've created my own prison
