Trial by Fire (Satan cover) Lyrics
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..
<i>Why?</i>
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!
Trial by Fire is about World War II, when the atomic bomb was first used on Japan.
Additional Info: Blind Guardian covered Satan with "Trial by Fire"
D'accord with Mordred about the meaning (which is pretty clear)
THis is about the Atom bomb attacks on Japan.
Yup this IS about WW2 :P
Krude the reason he chose WWII is because of 1945. the year the atomic bomb was droped. lol thats my guess man.
Lets see, 1945 and the line "Down they fly From out of the sky Feel the radiation burn!" Then "The men of power had nothing to fear. When the finger hits the switch they're far away from here." Could be easily looked at as how the people who made the choice for the bomb to be dropped were not on the plane that dropped it, rather they were in a war bunker that was rather well protected from conventional bombs.
I dunno, it seems like they're talking of the Nagisaka bomb getting dropped in a bit of a metaphoric way.
what is it with u and WW2 references? i highly doubt BG writes about that.
It's about Deutschland, since the band is from there.
Their heroic defense of Berlin in 1945, and the utter futility of the effort. Gallantry worthy of tribute in their eyes though.
yes trial by fire is on the album "court in the act" by satan i own it
has anyone actually heard of the band Satan? this "cover" is the only place i've ever come across the name; i like this song, so i looked them up, but i've never been able to find anything on them on the web. you'd think it'd be a more popular metal band name.
