Dead Men Tell No Tales

Dead men tell no tales
Yet the skulls like to move
Dreaded words get whispered
As they long to prove

Dead men tell no tales
Yet they haunt the living
Muttering their secrets
And never forgiving

Dead men tell my secrets 
As they testify against me
Irrefutable evidence
To never let me be free

Dead men tell no tales
I claim to the jury
You would use the words of a skull
To willingly condemn me
