D                   Bb            F
A court is in session, a verdict is in
D                          Bb
No appeal on the docket today
        F             C
Just my own sin
D                                  Bb
The walls are cold and pale
F                                 C
The cage made of steel
D        F        Bb
Screams fill the room
F
Alone I drop and kneel
D           Bb
Silence now the sound
F                                       C
My breath the only motion around
D            Bb
Demons cluttering around
F                                          D
My face showing no emotion
D                   Bb
Shackled by my sentence
F                          C
Expecting no return
D                  Bb
Here there is no penance
F
My skin begins to burn

[Chorus]

F                                                     Em
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
Em                   D          Eb
Hiding hate that burns inside
Eb                                         D
Which only fuels their selfish pride
F
(And I said oh) We're held captive
C                 Em
Out from the sun
Em                        C
A sun that shines on only some
Eb                                     D
We the meek are all in one

[Solo]

D Bb F C D

[Verse]

D           Bb                F
I hear a thunder in the distance
F                        D
See a vision of a cross
D              Bb
I feel the pain that was given
F                              C
On that sad day of loss
D                Bb
A lion roars in the darkness
F                            D
Only he holds the key
D                         Bb
A light to free me from my burden
       F                            D
And grant me life eternally

D                              Bb
Should have been dead
                       F
On a Sunday morning X2
                    C       D
Banging my head
D                Bb
No time for mourning
          F                C D
Ain't got no time

[Chorus]

C                 F                                 Em
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
                    C             Eb
Hiding hate that burns inside
                                            D
Which only fuels their selfish pride
F                                        C
(And I said oh) We're held captive
                     Em
Out from the sun
                                D
A sun that shines on only some
Eb                                 D
We the meek are all in one

[Guitar break]

I cry out to God
                C            D
Seeking only his decision

Gabriel stands and confirms

I've created my own prison
