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

E sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one

I cry out to God

Seeking only his decision
