The Trial Lyrics – The Pretty Wild

The Trial Lyrics

I bleed in silence, with your words cutting deep
Manipulated, you condemn the ones you don’t understand
Because you’ve been hiding behind false prophecies
But you won’t see my death as irony
As the martyrs crucify me

Tried for heresy, convicted, burned at the stake
Demons in white, arise, violent roles that they play
They tried to bury me, but I rose from the grave
They cast their glass stones, cut my tongue with a blade
Ribbons and lace, they tie ’round my neck
Smoke in my lungs, with burns on my dress
Atoned for a past I was forced to confess
Born marked for death

I bleed in silence, with your words cutting deep
Manipulated, you condemn the ones you don’t understand
Because you’ve been hiding behind false prophecies
But you won’t see my death as irony
As the martyrs crucify me
Crucify

You wanna see if I breathe underwater
You’ve got a fetish for slip-knotted collars
Your path to solace is paved with dishonor
Unworthy of grace
Your search for peace ignited a war
Poisoned the minds of the blind with death as the cure
We are the ashes of oracles
We are the fallen and will be restored
Divine retribution, you brought the plague with your persecution
Damned to the grave, with no absolution
I curse you to suffer the pain of all those you’ve abused

I bleed in silence, with your words cutting deep
Manipulated, you condemn the ones you don’t understand
Because you’ve been hiding behind false prophecies
But you won’t see my death as irony
As the martyrs crucify me

You severed my spirit, or so you shall believe
I’ll return, I’ll hunt you, no place is safe from me
You build your flames higher as heaven judges you
But you can’t burn the truth
Let’s play

Foolish mortal, I’ll show you divinity
You can’t burn the truth

I bleed in silence, with your words cutting deep
Manipulated, you condemn the ones you don’t understand
Because you’ve been hiding behind false prophecies
But you won’t see my death as irony
As the martyrs crucify me
