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

A sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one
[Guitar break] F C D Bb F C Bb D Bb [Bridge]
F
I cry out to God

        C         D
Seeking only his decision

        Bb
Gabriel stands and confirms

I've created my own prison
