I think literally your interpretation is fine @travfitz but given the religious connotations of the band in many songs, I think the "trial" is going to heaven or hell. That is, the Church has already judged you (based on your beliefs). They need no jury, as you are "guilty" if you don't believe (irrespective of your actions).
So in the end religion will trial you by fire (that is either believe what they say or bare the consequences ... life eternal in Hell).
