Creed - My Own Prison lyrics

A court is in session a verdict is in<br>No appeal on the docket today, just my own sin<br>The walls are cold and pale the cage made of steel<br>Screams fill the room alone I drop and kneel<br>Silence now the sound my breath the only motion around<br>Demons cluttering around my face showing no emotion<br>Shackled by my sentence expecting no return<br>Here there is no penance my skin begins to burn<br>(chorus)<br>So I held my head up high hiding hate that burns inside<br>Which only fuels there selfish pride<br>We're all held captive out from the sun<br>A sun that shines on only some<br>We the meek are all in one<br>I hear a thunder in the distance see a vision of a cross<br>I feel the pain that was given on that sad day of loss<br>A lion roars in the darkness only he holds the key<br>A light to free me from my burden and grant me life eternally<br>Should have been dead on a sunday morning banging my head<br>No time for mourning ain't got no time<br>(chorus)<br>I cry out to God seeking only his decision<br>Gabriel stands and confirms<br>I've created my own prison
