the dead can't testify

Singer:billy talent

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!
