Song lyrics
A court is in session, a verdict is in
No appeal on the docket today
Just my own sin
The walls are cold and pale
The cage made of steel
Screams fill the room
Alone I drop and kneel

Silence now the sound
My breath the only motion around
Demons cluttering around
My face showing no emotion
Shackled by my sentence
Expecting no return
Here there is no penance
My skin begins to burn

And I said oh...

So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride

And I said oh...

All held captive
Out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one

I hear a thunder in the distance
See a vision of a cross
I feel the pain that was given
On that sad day of loss
A lion roars in the darkness
Only He holds the key
A light to free me from my burden
And grant me Life eternally

Should have been dead
On a Sunday morning
Banging my head
No time for mourning
Ain't got no time

Should have been dead
On a Sunday morning
Banging my head
No time for mourning
Ain't got no time

And I said oh...

So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride

And I said oh...

All held captive
Out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one

I cry out to God
Seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and confirms
I've created my own prison

I cry out to God
Seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and confirms
I've created my own prison

And I said oh...

So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride

And I said oh...

All held captive
Out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one

And I said oh...

So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride

And I said oh...

All held captive  (I've created)
Out from the sun (I've created)
A sun that shines on only some (I've created)
We the meek are all in one (I've created my own prison)

Should have been dead
On a Sunday morning
Banging my head
No time for mourning
Ain't got no time

well i can tell u what it means to me (i'm a Christian fyi) the song's about being so trapped and confined by his own sin and failures that he can't get out...my fav part is the second verse "I hear the thunder in the distance, see a vision of a cross, i feel the pain that was given on that sad day of loss, a Lion roars in the darkness, only He holds the key, a light to free me from my burden and give me Life eternally" I love that because this song is a lot like how I feel, I'm always screwing my life up but Jesus is still there to repair it...I don't know...I just love the song and that's what it means to me...my other fav part is "I cry out to God seeking only His decision, Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison" Because it's not God's fault that we screwed up, He's the one that would help us out if we'd just let Him...anyway that's my two cents

This song totally rocks! It's my favorite Creed's song. By the way, i have the CD "my own prison". I love all songs. Nice. I'm here in my prison now. I'm waiting for the lion with the keys, a light to free me from my burden and grant me life eternally!

i agree with stapp_loyalist. this song is really about what we do with our life while we live and there's no one else to blame but US in the end. but then again; there's always realization along the way...GOD'd here to help us how rotten our lives might become; we just got to have FAITH in HIM!

-> this song is one of the best singles of Creed. i don't think their last album can be even compared...

What are you? A Dumbass? How can you give such a perfect vocal 3 ? ? ? MOP... Reminds me of the good ol' days of creed. Great song, ain't as good as Torn and OLB, but defenitly a kickass song.
