Creed – My Own Prison Lyrics

[00:06]A court is in session, a verdict is in
[00;13]No appeal on the docket today
[00:16]Just my own sin
[00:20]The walls are cold and pale
[00:23]The cage made of steel
[00:27]Screams fill the room
[00:30]Alone I drop and kneel

[00:34]Silence now the sound
[00:37]My breath the only motion around
[00:41]Demons cluttering around
[00:44]My face showing no emotion

[00:48]Shackled by my sentence
[00:51]Expecting no return
[00:55]Here there is no penance
[00:57]My skin begins to burn

[01:01]So I held my head up high
[01:05]Hiding hate that burns inside
[01:09]Which only fuels their selfish pride
[01:15]We’re all held captive Out from the sun
[01:19]A sun that shines on only some
[01:22]We the meek are all in one

[01:35]I hear a thunder in the distance
[01:40]See a vision of a cross
[01:43]I feel the pain that was given
[01:45]On that sad day of loss

[01:49]A lion roars in the darkness
[01:52]Only he holds the key
[01:56]A light to free me from my burden
[01:59]And grant me life eternally

[02:03]Should have been dead
[02:05]On a Sunday morning
[02:07]Banging my head
[02:09]No time for mourning
[02:12]Ain’t got no time

[02:30]So I held my head up high
[02:33]Hiding hate that burns inside
[02:37]Which only fuels their selfish pride
[02:42]We’re all held captive
[02:47]Out from the sun
[02:59]A sun that shines on only some
[02:51]We the meek are all in one

[03:10]I cry out to God
[03:11]Seeking only his decision
[03:13]Gabriel stands and confirms
[03:16]I’ve created my own prison

[03:23]I cry out to God
[03:25]Seeking only his decision
[03:28]Gabriel stands and confirms
[03:30]I’ve created my own prison

[03:38]So I held my head up high
[03:41]Hiding hate that burns inside
[03:45]Which only fuels their selfish pride
[03:50]We’re all held captive
[03:53]Out from the sun
[03:55]A sun that shines on only some
[03:58]We the meek are all in one

[04:03]So I held my head up high
[04:08]Hiding hate that burns inside
[04:12]Which only fuels their selfish pride
[04:17]We’re all held captive
[04:21]Out from the sun
[04:24]A sun that shines on only some
[04:27]We the meek are all in one
