captured only by my sins
as they float endlessly within

shackled by my life which has me trapped without a doubt

these walls are cold and pale
this cage is made of steel

screams fill the room
alone i drop and kneel

silence now the sound
my breathing is the only motion

demons clutter around me
my face shows no emotions

drowning in my tears
expecting no return

so i hold my head up high
hiding hate that burns inside
which only fuels my selfish pride

held captive, i see no sun
a sun that shines on only some
i am meek and only one

i hear a thunder in the distance
i see a vision of a cross
i feel the pain that was given
on that sad of loss

a lion roars in the darkness
only he holds the key
a light to free me from my burdens
and grant me life eternally

i cry out to god
seeking only his decision
gabriel stands and confirms

that i've created my own prison
