Album: Court In The Act (1983)

Trial By Fire


In 1945 the year it came to be
Their fate decided
many miles accross the sea
They told them not to fear
they couldn't be prepaired
Then came the day
that not a single soul was spared

Too late there's no escape
The Trial has begun
Down they fly
From out of the sky
Feel the radiation burn

The men of power
had nothing to fear
When the finger hits the switch
they're far away from here
Down in their sanctuary
hidding in their lair
The sorcerers of justice
will be waiting for them there

Too late there's no escape
The Trial has begun
Down they fly
From out of the sky
Feel the radiation burn

I saw the people running
through all my dreams
I heard the soldiers crying
Mother Nature screams
I saw destruction falling
from out of the sky
I heard the Wise Man calling... Why?

In 1945 the year it came to be
Their fate decided
many miles accross the sea
They told them not to fear
they couldn't be prepaired
Then came the day
that not a single soul was spared.

Too late there's no escape
The Trial has begun
Down they fly
From out of the sky
Feel the radiation burn
