The band's goal is to create comic book visuals for each song, creating an animated story across the concept album, bringing the sound effects to life and depicting the story narrated by the lyrics.
Trials
Eternal Descent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Victims of hope
Falling faster
Memories of sin
Dark disaster
Lost in this dream
Walking through fire
Watching out moves
Victims of faith
Falling faster
Visions of hell
Endless decay
Dark disaster
Pawns on the board
Walking on wire
Trials of pain
Trials of fire
Testing my faults
Burning desire
No
Trials of hate
Trials of shame
Testing my soul
Playing your game
No
The lyrics of Eternal Descent's song Trials describe the feeling of being trapped in a dark, hopeless situation. The phrase "shadows of fate" suggests that the singer feels like their destiny is predetermined and that they have no control over their life. "Victims of hope" implies that they once had aspirations but have since given up on them. The repeated phrase "falling faster" emphasizes the sense of urgency and despair.
The line "walking through fire" likely represents a trial or challenge that the singer must endure. They feel like they are constantly being watched and judged ("watching our moves, victims of faith"). The image of being "lost in this dream" suggests that the situation feels unreal, like a nightmare. The phrase "visions of hell" could describe nightmares or haunting memories.
The chorus emphasizes the idea of being tested and challenged ("trials of pain, trials of fire, testing my faults, burning desire"). The repetition of the word "no" at the end of the chorus suggests that the singer is resigned to their fate but cannot help but resist it. The final verse describes feeling like a pawn in someone else's game and being tested to the breaking point.

If the Control System wouldn`t be that screwed up the Game would be fine but...at the current Price Point and with the Control Issue it`s way overpriced. Specially since there is no Story Plot and the overall Gameplay is very linear and dull. I just don`t understand how the Developer could release a Game where the Control System isn`t even working in the freaking Menu while I`m trying to look through the Tutorial. Overall missed opportunity since the first impression is what does often count.
