Lyrics The Guilty Party, Part 1 (The Trial Begins) - Shard

How do you feel after losing your battles
Trying to escape me, yet here you are in shackles
I told you many times to play by the rules
But no, you decided to become one of the fools
The many fools who thought they were above it all
Until being brought down, no longer standing tall
You're in my house now to pay for your sins
So welcome one and all, let the mayhem begin

Today is the day
The day your trial begins
The day that you're convicted
For all your wicked sins
Today is the day
Your branded to our nation
The day you'll never leave
With no chance of salvation

Welcome to the great parade
Of harlequins, banshees and thralls
All of you sinners, liars and freaks
Will pay your eternal toll
No-one has fun in this circus of horrors
But horrors you all were in life
Now you will suffer your victim's pain
Sorrow, trouble and strife

Do you still feel tough, powerful and great
We'll find out soon after I eat you off my plate
You say you're strong, but I know you're weak
So be very afraid, for your future is bleak
I won't go easy on you during this trial
Fair treatment is too good for a man so vile
Only misery, torture, fear without end
Where you will be driven too far round the bend

Today is the day
The day your trial begins
The day that you're convicted
For all your wicked sins
Today is the day
Your branded to our nation
The day you'll never leave
With no chance of salvation

Welcome to the great parade
Of harlequins, banshees and thralls
All of you sinners, liars and freaks
Will pay your eternal toll
No-one has fun in this circus of horrors
But horrors you all were in life
Now you will suffer your victim's pain
Sorrow, trouble and strife

Here in the courtroom, you stand accused
The case is now open, you can't be excused
Your family watches on and cries in shame
Feeling as if they are the ones to blame
They never brought you up to become a criminal
You disgraced their name, that is unforgivable
Murderers, rapists, you heeded the call
To complete ruination, your spiritual fall

Today is the day
The day your trial begins
The day that you're convicted
For all your wicked sins
Today is the day
Your branded to our nation
The day you'll never leave
With no chance of salvation

Welcome to the great parade
Of harlequins, banshees and thralls
All of you sinners, liars and freaks
Will pay your eternal toll
No-one has fun in this circus of horrors
But horrors you all were in life
Now you will suffer your victim's pain
Sorrow, trouble and strife
