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
So I held my head up
high, hiding hate
that burns inside
which only fuels
their selfish pride
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
Should have been dead
on a Sunday morning
banging my head
No time for mourning
ain't got no time
So I held my head up
high, hiding hate that
burns inside which
only fuels their
selfish pride
We're all held captive
out from the sun
a sun that shines on
only some, we the
meek are all in one
I cry out to God
seeking only
his decision
Gabriel stands
and confirms
I've created
my own prison....
