The Trial
Kolony Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the day we′ll find our way
This is the day we'll get our say
This is the day we′ll break away
This is the day we judge the grey

Lost, fooled broken souls
In this juried hall
Only strength of will

Can prevail
What if there's no good?
What if good is wrong?
One will make the call
Play along

The Trial starts within dead walls
Where we made these unjust calls
Media public retribution
But we still hope for reparation

Down the stairs of humiliation
Saved by wealthy demons
They took their time away
Silenced with nothing to say
Quickly forgave with impunity

This ends the day that got away

This ends the day we had no say
This is the day that justice frayed

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kolony's song "The Trial" are an introspective exploration of the human condition under the scrutiny of the judicial system. The day has arrived, where the accused will get their say, and justice will be served. The song is indicative of the paradox of morality and good versus evil, where humanity is caught in between. The lyrics suggest that in the juried hall where judgments are made, only the strength of will prevails. However, there is always the doubt if good is truly right or wrong, leading us to play along with the judicial system.

The Trial begins within dead walls, where the injustice prevails, and the media thrives on public retribution. But, in the end, there is still hope for reparation. The accused, broken souls, are lost and fooled, silenced by the wealthy demons who make their calls from the stairs of humiliation. They took their time away and forgave quickly, leaving the accused with nothing to say. The day ends with justice frayed as the accused is left to pick up the pieces and move forward with their lives.

Overall, the lyrics of "The Trial" are dark and brooding, focusing on the injustice and moral gray areas inherent in the judicial system. Rather than providing hope or a positive message, the song is a reminder that justice is not always served, and those who are caught in the legal system often suffer at the hands of those who can afford to see justice served in their favor.
