Intro / Verse 1 When I walk I walk alone When I fly I’m heavy like a stone When I’m high Every ghost I’ve known Feeding my conscience lies Still heaven just nearby Dreams outgrown Still whisper in the sky ⸻ Verse 2 I craved freedom I had a burning fever At the gates of Eden I got lost forever I drank from the poison In your unholy river The heavenly feeling Was just a deceiver ⸻ 🎵 Chorus Take my sins and let them fly, To the altar in the sky. If love is death, then let me die — Kill me softly tonight. ⸻ Verse 3 The path I’ve known Running dry Every milestone Ends with goodbye My soul of stone learned how to try My truth been shown But still I lie ⸻ Bridge / Verse 4 Silence can be louder Than any screams The shepherd pointed the way Still he was blind Heaven’s a place you build, not find You can’t cage a storm And call it peace Dreams don’t die, They just bleed With dirt on my face Still it stings when I feel The river forgets But your conscience won’t heal ⸻ 🎵 Chorus (Final / Outro) Take my sins and let them fly, To the altar in the sky. If love is death, then let me die — Kill me softly tonight. (Soft repeat) Kill me softly… Tonight.
