Verse 1 (Clean)

~~~~~~~

A 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 (Clean)

~~~~~~~

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 (Clean first time, Distorted on all repeats)

~~~~~~

           F5

And I said oh

D5                   E5                          

So I held my head up high hiding hate that burns inside

Eb5                            D5

Which only fuels their selfish pride

           F5

And I said oh

D5                            E5                             Eb5

All held captive out from the sun, a sun that shines on only some

                       D5 

We are meek are all in one



Verse 3 (Clean)

~~~~~~~

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



Verse 4 (Distortion)

~~~~~~~

D5                    Bb5         F5                     [Riff 1]

Should have been dead on a Sunday morning banging my head

D5                   Bb5          F5 

No time for mourning ain't got no time [Riff 1]



[Repeat Verse 4]

[Repeat Chorus]

Bridge (Distortion)

~~~~~~

F5                         C5          D5

I cry out to God seeking only his decision

               Bb5                  F5             C5 D5

Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own pris-o-n

No time for mourning ain't got no time
