The Trial
Our Last Trial Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Our lives are on the line
We survive
We've taken a pledge to give up everything we ever knew

Yet still we follow blindly
Were told to sustain
From speaking the truth we know
I swear this won't be the last time
You see my face
Won't turn the page
You won't keep me here forever
I'll escape one day
Soon you'll pay

I am here today
To be put to death
(They will hang my head)

Is the penalty just enough
To silence what's been said

My people need to hear these words
Weve grown silent when we need to be heard
My people need to hear these words
I will not fall I will not burn

I'm so sick of hiding the TRUTH

Cut these ropes
I'll break these locks
And I will soon come for revenge
I'll burn this kingdom to the ground

I swear this won't be the last time
You see my face
Won't turn the page
You won't keep me here forever
I'll escape one day
Soon you'll pay
I can hold my breathe for now
While you still have a chance
To let me out




Either way you'll be exposed to the truth
You will fail, I will prevail
