Trial By Fire - Testament

Accuse you of a crime

Sentenced to endless time

The price you have to pay

Won’t get away!

Sworn in by the stand

Your rights are gone

The system’s banned

They think you are a liar

A trial by fire

Hey!

This is what the people say

A new way

A trial by fire!

Locked in an empty cell

Your life becomes a living hell

The river of fire flows

Time only knows!

Trapped by flames of fury

Ordered unto by the jury

Death is their desire

Thrown in the fire!

Hey!

This is what the people say

A new way

A trial by fire!

Quiver by the fiery light

Cringing as your soul ignites

The book of law’s been thrown away

Starting today!

The system before the war

Is gone for now and evermore

There is no sentence higher

A trial by fire!

Hey!

This is what the people say

A new way

A trial by fire!
