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