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

I cry out to God
G# A#
Seeking only his decision

Gabriel stands and confirms
C# G# A# Gb
I've created my own prison

I cry out to God
G# A#
Seeking only his decision

I've created my own prison
