the trial

I was lost, patiently waiting for a voice to call my name

Ghosts in my past and branches above me, all the same

The hall that stands before me cries "what fighter have we here?"

And time stood frozen, my mind was broken

the weight of all my years came crashing down

It said don't hold onto me

Spare me the time in your kaleidoscope of pride

I'm tired of your lies

I can set you free

Break your locks and heal the pain just for a while

But you'll have to face the trial

I was caught, stuck in between my need for joy and want for pleasure

Digging for gold and bathing in blood at my leisure

The walls caved in as all my skin was burning to the touch

Then light poured over, went blind from torture

paralyzed from fear when all i hear

Is don't hold on to me

Spare me the time in your kaleidoscope of pride

I'm tired of your lies

I can see you free

Break your locks and heal the pain just for a while

But you'll have to face the trial

And all i've ever wanted

Was just to be believed

I'll give up everything to just be true

But i can see the end now

To speak is not to do

For words that carry weight must come with action too

Hold onto you

Free your mind from your kaleidoscope of pride

Be done with all the lies

Set yourself free

Break your locks and face the pain for many miles

And master all your trials
