CREED - My Own Prison (Acoustic) lyrics

rate me

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 />

<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 />

<br />

(And I said, oh)<br />

So, I held my head up high hiding hate that burns inside<br />

Which only fuels there selfish pride<br />

(And I said, oh)<br />

<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 />

<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 />

<br />

Should have been dead on a Sunday morning banging my head<br />

No time for mourning, ain’t got no time<br />

Should have been dead on a Sunday morning banging my head<br />

No time for mourning, ain’t got no time<br />

<br />

(And I said, oh)<br />

So, I held my head up high hiding hate that burns inside<br />

Which only fuels there selfish pride<br />

(And I said, oh)<br />

<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 />

<br />

I cry out to God seeking only his decision<br />

Gabriel stands and confirms<br />

I’ve created my own prison<br />

<br />

I cry out to God seeking only his decision<br />

Gabriel stands and confirms<br />

I’ve created my own prison<br />

<br />

(And I said, oh)<br />

So, I held my head up high hiding hate that burns inside<br />

Which only fuels there selfish pride<br />

(And I said, oh)<br />

<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 />

<br />

(And I said, oh)<br />

So, I held my head up high hiding hate that burns inside<br />

Which only fuels there selfish pride<br />

(And I said, oh)<br />

<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 />

<br />

Should have been dead on a Sunday morning banging my head<br />

No time for mourning, ain’t got no time
