*Verse 1*
Step into the fire, hear the gates collide
Every truth I buried now is testifying
Names carved in stone, every fault on file
No place to hide in the great trial
I carried my sins like a second skin
Wore all my doubt like a discipline
Every promise cracked under pressure and time
Now the clock stands still in the great trial
*Pre-Chorus*
Judge and jury in my head
Every word I never said
*Chorus*
This is the great trial
No mercy, no denial
Every lie comes home tonight
Under blinding light
This is the great trial
Faith balanced on a wire
If I fall, I fall awake
If I stand, I change
*Verse 2*
Echoes of the past in the witness stand
Every scar shakes hands with consequence
I hear the crowd breathe, waiting for the sign
One wrong move in the great trial
I tried to run, tried to rewrite blame
But truth remembers every name
The sentence waits in the back of my mind
Heavy as fate in the great trial
*Pre-Chorus*
No appeal, no disguise
I meet my own eyes
*Chorus*
This is the great trial
No mercy, no denial
Every lie comes home tonight
Under blinding light
This is the great trial
Faith balanced on a wire
If I fall, I fall awake
If I stand, I change
*Bridge*
Strip me down to bone and breath
Measure life against regret
If this ends or if I rise
Let me face it open-eyed
*Breakdown*
Guilty of fear
Guilty of doubt
But I’m still here
I won’t bow out
*Final Chorus*
This is the great trial
Hear my final vow
I won’t beg, I won’t retreat
I’ll take the heat
This is the great trial
I walk forward now
If I burn, I burn alive
If I live, I decide
*Outro*
No verdict left to deny
I survive
The great trial
