My Own Prison Creed
[Verse 1]
[Dm]A court is in [Bb]session, a [F]verdict is [C]in
[Dm]No appeal on the [Bb]docket today
Just [F]my own [C]sin
[Dm]The walls are c[Bb]old and pale
[F]The cage made of ste[C]el
[Dm]Screams f[Bb]ill the room
[F]Alone I drop and [C]kneel
[Dm]Silence n[Bb]ow the sound
[F]My breath the only motion [C]around
[Dm]Demons cl[Bb]uttering around
[F]My face showing no [C]emotion
[Dm]Shackled by my [Bb]sentence
[F]Expecting no return[C]
[Dm]Here there is[Bb] no penance
[F]My skin begins to burn[C]
[Cborus]
(And I said [F]oh) So I held my head up [Em]high
[Em]Hiding hate that burns [Eb]inside
[Eb]Which only fuels their selfish [Dm]pride
[F](And I said oh) We're held captive
Out from the [Em]sun
[Em]A sun that shines on only [Eb]some
[Eb]We the meek are all in [Dm]one
[Solo]
[Dm] [Bb] [F] [C]
[Dm] [Bb] [F] [C]
[Verse 2]
[Dm]I hear a t[Bb]hunder in the d[F]istance
See a [C]vision of a c[Dm]ross
I feel the [Bb]pain that was given
[F]On that sad day of lo[C]ss
[Dm]A lion roars i[Bb]n the darkness
[F]Only he holds the key[Dm]
[Dm]A light to free me f[Bb]rom my burden
And [F]grant me life eternally[Dm]
[Dm]Should have been de[Bb]ad
On a Sunday [F]morning
Banging my [C]head X2
[Dm]No time for mo[Bb]urning
Ain't [F]got no time[C]
[Cborus]
(And I said [F]oh) So I held my head up [Em]high
[Em]Hiding hate that burns [Eb]inside
[Eb]Which only fuels their selfish [Dm]pride
[F](And I said oh) We're held captive
Out from the [Em]sun
[Em]A sun that shines on only [Eb]some
[Eb]We the meek are all in [Dm]one
[Guitar break]
[F] [C] [Dm] [Bb]
[F] [C] [Dm] [Bb]
[Bridge]
[F]I cry out to God
Seeking [C]only his d[Dm]ecision
Gabriel [Bb]stands and confirms
[F]I've created my own [C]prison[Dm] [Bb]
[F]I cry out to God
[C]Seeking only his dec[Dm]ision
[Bb]Gabriel stands and confirms
[F]I've created my own [C]prison[Dm]
[Cborus]
(And I said [F]oh) So I held my head up [Em]high
[Em]Hiding hate that burns [Eb]inside
[Eb]Which only fuels their selfish [Dm]pride
[F](And I said oh) We're held captive
Out from the [Em]sun
[Em]A sun that shines on only [Eb]some
[Eb]We the meek are all in [Dm]one
(And I said [F]oh) So I held my head up [Em]high
[Em]Hiding hate that burns [Eb]inside
[Eb]Which only fuels their selfish [Dm]pride
[F](And I said oh) We're held captive
Out from the [Em]sun
[Em]A sun that shines on only [Eb]some
[Eb]We the meek are all in [Dm]one
[End]
[F]Should've been dead on a Sunday [Em]morning banging my head
[Eb]No time for mourning, ain't [Dm]got no time
