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

Hiding hate that burns inside

Which only fuels their selfish pride

Out from the sun

D sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one

Hiding hate that burns inside

Which only fuels their selfish pride

We the meek are all in one

Should've been dead on a Sunday morning
banging my head

No time for mourning
