Текст пісні
The light stood trial before the blind
Judged by laws He once designed
The fire that walked now bound in chain
The scroll unrolled to curse His name
They dragged Him through the Temple gate
With angry accusers drunk on hate
Their scrolls in hand, their eyes like stone
No mercy left, no truth their own
They asked Him questions forged in spite
He stood in silence, cloaked in Light
The words they used He once had penned
Now twisted sharp to bring His end
The Trial of the Light-bearer, the silence breaks the sky
The Trial of the Light-bearer, as innocence stands by
Condemned by words He gave to men
The Author meets His scroll again
The Cult of the Book in council met
With blood and bribe their verdict set
Their guide was not the inferno codes
But poison dressed in sacred robes
They cried, He speaks against the Book
Yet could not see His indignant look
Their scrolls aflame with borrowed ire
They handed Light to sword and fire
The Trial of the Light-bearer, the curtain begins to rend
The Trial of the Light-bearer, as darkness plays pretend
The Lord is bound, the Ruler is tried
The precepts bough low and will not rise
It will not rise
You cleanse the altar, but spill the innocent
You wear the Shadows like armor, but wield it like a blade
I wrote the scroll
And now you write My name in blood
The Trial of the Light-bearer, the scroll has made its choice
The Trial of the Light-bearer, the crowd has found its voice
They trade the flame for earthly crown
But fire that falls shall not stay down
And the scroll was closed with blood
