Court is in session
a verdict is in
No appeal on the docket today
Just my own sin
The walls are cold and pale
On the cage made of steel
Screams fill the room
Alone I drop and kneel

CHORUS
(And I said oooooooooooooooh...)
So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
(And I said ooooooooooooooooooooh...)
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

PRE-CHORUS:
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 oooooooooooooooh...)
So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
(And I said ooooooooooooooooooooh...)
We're all held captive out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the 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: (2x)
(And I said oooooooooooooooh...)
So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
(And I said ooooooooooooooooooooh...)
We're all held captive out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one

(I've created, I've created, I've created, I've created my own prison)
We're all held captive out from the sun
We're all held captive out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one

Should have been dead on a sunday morning banging my head
No time for mourning, ain't got no time
