Trial
Atrocity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're condemning, torturing, killing again and again
Waiting for deliverance being nailed to the cross
Hanging there like Jesus Christ
But without his graceful sight
Suspected animation antagonized to die
Make your last confession within tonight
Tails you loose
Blackest sin
Trial by ordeal
Foreed smile, frozen face annoyed arch enemy
No weakness, no fraility even without empathy
Your mind is closed, disturbing fortitude
Hatred, fear
Melt into a mental beast
Forced to fight
Steel annealed
Prepare to strike
Trial by ordeal
Demolishing anger, concentrated violence
Attempt, conquest
No mental anguish, warrant of distress
Unfailing strength, unflagging opponents
At blood hit the inner conflict
Trial by ordeal decides your life or death
Pouring out the vails of wrath and damnation
Taking a delight in an unholy domain
Blasphemous, unholy
Benedicted under God's name
The lyrics to Atrocity’s song “Trial” are full of dark imagery, describing a world where pain, torture and killing are a common occurrence. The song refers to a “trial by ordeal”, a medieval judicial practice in which the accused was subjected to a dangerous or painful test to determine guilt or innocence. The lines “Hanging there like Jesus Christ, but without his graceful sight” suggest that the victim of this trial is being crucified, but without the redemptive power of Christ’s sacrifice. The trial is described as a battle, with the lyrics stating “Forced to fight, Steel annealed, Prepare to strike, Trial by ordeal”.
The lyrics also touch on themes of mental anguish and the capacity for violence within the human mind. The lines “Your mind is closed, disturbing fortitude, Hatred, fear, Melt into a mental beast” suggest that the accused has become an animal in their desire for survival. The lyrics suggest that the trial is arbitrary and unfair, with the lines “Tails you loose, Blackest sin, Trial by ordeal” suggesting that the outcome is predetermined. The song ends on a note of condemnation, with the lyrics “Blasphemous, unholy, Benedicted under God's name” suggesting that those who carry out these trials are fundamentally immoral.
