Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Court is in session

A verdict is in

No appeal on the docket today

Just my own sin

The walls, cold and pale

The cage made of steel

Screams fill the room

Alone, I drop and kneel

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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"

All held captive out from the sun

A sun that shines on only some

We the meek, are all in one

[Verse 3]

I hear a thunder in the distance

See a vision of a cross

I feel the pain that was given

On a 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

[Verse 4]

Should have been dead on a Sunday morning

Banging my head

No time for mourning

Ain't got no time

Should have been dead on a Sunday morning

Banging my head

No time for mourning

Ain't got no time

[Chorus]

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"

All held captive out from the sun

A sun that shines on only some

We are meek, are all in one

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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"

All held captive out from the sun

A sun that shines on only some

We are meek, are all in one

[Chorus]

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"

I created, I created, I created

All held captive out from the sun

A sun that shines on only some

I created, I created

We are meek, are all in one

I created my own prison

[Outro]

Should have been dead on a Sunday morning

Banging my head

No time for mourning

Ain't got no time
