Riff after F Chord
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]

[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

We the meek are all in one

I cry out to God
        C         D
Seeking only his decision
        Bb
Gabriel stands and confirms
F                   C     D  Bb
I've created my own prison

I cry out to God
