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

I hear a thunder in the distance
B G#
See a vision of a cross
G# Fb
I feel the pain that was given
B F#
On that sad day of loss
G# Fb
D# lion roars in the darkness
B G#
Only he holds the key
G# Fb
D# light to free me from my burden
B G#
And grant me life eternally
G# Fb
Should have been dead
B
On a Sunday morning X2
F# G#
Banging my head
G# Fb
No time for mourning
B F# G#
Ain't got no time
[Chorus]
