The Dead Can't Testify Lyrics - 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 '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 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 '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 haunt you 'til you die
