Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Accuse you of a crime
Sentenced to endless time
The price you have to pay
Won't get away
[Verse 2]
Sworn in by the stand
Your rights are gone, the system's banned
They think you are a liar
A trial by fire
[Verse 3]
Hey, this is what the people say
A new way, a trial by fire
[Verse 4]
Locked in an empty cell
Your life becomes a living hell
The river of fire flows
Time only knows
[Verse 5]
Trapped by flames of fury
Ordered unto by the jury
Death is their desire
Thrown in the fire
[Verse 6]
Hey, this is what the people say
A new way, a trial by fire
[Verse 7]
Quiver by the fiery light
Cringing as your soul ignites
The book of law's been thrown away
Starting today
[Verse 8]
The system before the war
Is gone for now and evermore
There is no sentence higher
A trial by fire
[Verse 9]
Hey, this is what the people say
A new way, a trial by fire
