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