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

C# sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one

I cry out to God

Seeking only his decision
