[Verse 2] 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 [Refrain] 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? [Chorus] 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! [Solo] x8 [Refrain] And the rain falls down let it fall to the ground with teardrops on the ground!!! And the birds don’t sing no they don’t make a sound with your 6 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? [Chorus] 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! [Outro] Gm  x8 lie!!!
