The Dead Can't Testify

Let the rain fall down, let it fall to the ground
 Let the rain fall down to the ground
 And the birds don't sing, no, they don't make a sound
 When you're six feet underground
 Well, they cast me out when the word spread around
 That I never sang in the church
 And it took one night for the town to decide
 I'm afflicted by the curse
 And the rain falls down, let it fall to the ground
 And the birds don't sing, no, they don't make a sound
 So I look to the sky, tell me why, tell me why
 Do they all get to live, and I have to die?
 So they marched me down to the center of town
 With their pitchforks high in the air
 I was chained and bound with a blindfold around
 So the judge wouldn't catch my stare
 And they hung my soul from the gallows pole
 But the witch they never found
 So to those who don't fit society's mold
 Learn to swim or you will drown
 And the rain falls down, let it fall to the ground
 And the birds don't sing, no, they don't make a sound
 So I look to the sky, tell me why, tell me why
 Do they all get to live, and I have to die?
 And the angels sing, let it shine, let it shine
 Dry the teardrops from my eyes
 And the bells will ring when the blind lead the blind
 'Cause the dead can't testify
 And because I can't take an eye for an eye
 In the afterlife I'll haunt you 'til you die
