[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!!!

La chanson évoque la douleur et l’injustice vécues par ceux qui sont marginalisés ou mal compris dans la société. Le narrateur se sent condamné, non seulement par son environnement, mais aussi par un système qui ne laisse aucune place à ceux qui sortent des normes. Les métaphores de la pluie et des oiseaux silencieux illustrent un monde désenchanté, où la vie est étouffée par le jugement et l'ignorance. Le contexte soulève des thèmes de persécution et d'exclusion, rappelant des périodes sombres comme les chasses aux sorcières, où des individus étaient injustement accusés et punis. La lutte pour la dignité et la vérité résonne profondément, racontant comment ceux qui ne se conforment pas sont souvent amenés à payer le prix.
