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!
