Shot down in cold blood
Didn't know my name
No one understood
So I took the blame

[Verse 2]
Where I left my mark
When the system fail
You are in my grasp
Hid behind your bell

[Chorus 1]
But out of guilt
Branded a liar (Liar, liar)
I have enjoyed
Trial by fire

[Verse 3]
Hang me out to dry
I broke every rule
Though I'm in your trap
Played me for a fool

[Verse 4]
Kept you safe and sound
Tried to make you mine
Took this only vow
Then you cross the line

[Chorus 1]
But out of guilt
Branded a liar (Liar, liar)
Falsely accused
Trial by fire

[Chorus 2]
Committed no crime
In my innocence
I havе enjoyed
Trial by fire

[Bridge]
Lifе is so cruel and unbearable
I can't let you get in my way
What'll I need now is some miracle
To get to the end of the stay

[Guitar Lead: Glenn Tipton & Richie Faulkner]
[Chorus 1]
But out of guilt
Branded a liar
Whipped and abused
Trial by fire

[Chorus 2]
Committed no crime
In my innocence
I have enjoyed
Trial by fire

[Outro]
Trial by fire
Trial by FIRE
