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 looked 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 fold
but the witch they never found
So to those who don't fit society's mold
Better 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 looked 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 hold you 'til 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 your six feet underground)
So I looked 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 hold you 'til 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 hold you 'til you die
