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 'till you die!
|
|
And the rain falls down, let it fall to the ground
|
(Let teardrops hit the ground!)
|
And the birds don't sing, no they don't make a sound
|
(When you're six feet underground!)
|
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 'till you 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 'till you die!
