Shack-led by my sent-ence Ex-pect-ing no re-turn Here there is_ no pen-ance My skin beg-ins to burn_ Chorus: And I said oh....(hold out while another sings:) So I held my head up high Hid-ing hate that burns in-side Which only fu-els their self-ish pride_ And I said oh..... All held cap-tive from the sun A sun that shines on only some_ We, the meek, are all in one___ 2nd verse I hear a thun-der in the dist-ance See a vis-ion of the cross I feel the pain that was giv-en on that sad Day of loss A lion roars in the dark-ness Only he holds the key To free me from my burden And grant me life eter-na-lly (w/dist) Should have been dead on a Sun-day morn-in Bang-in my head No time for mour-nin, ain't got no time Should have been dead on a Sun-day mor-nin Ban-gin my head No time for mour-nin, ain't got no time Interlude Bridge I cry out to God, seek-in only his dec-is-ion Gab-ri-el stan-ds and con-firms I've cre-at-ed my own pri-son (repeat that once) 2nd Chorus And I said oh....(hold out while another sings:) So I held my head up high Hid-ing hate that burns in-side Which only fu-els their self-ish pride_ And I said oh..... All held cap-tive from the sun A sun that shines on only some_ We, the meek, are all in one___ And I said oh....(hold out while another sings:) So I held my head up high Hid-ing hate that burns in-side Which only fu-els their self-ish pride_ And I said oh..... All held cap-tive from the sun A sun that shines on only some_ We, the meek, are all in one___ (sing that in the background while lead vocals:) Should have been dead on a Sun-day morn-in Bang-in my head No time for mour-nin, ain't got no time Should have been dead on a Sun-day mor-nin Ban-gin my head No time for mour-nin, ain't got no time I cre-at-ed I cre-at-ed I cre-at-ed I cre-at-ed my own prison Should have been dead on a Sun-day morn-in Bang-in my head No time for mour-nin, ain't got no time....
