	Story Behind the Song This song was written after my friend, a known addict who I'd watched doing drugs, died from his habit. It's a horrible thing to wonder whether I helped kill him by not trying to stop him when he used in front of me, and this song reflects this anguish. Lyrics Father I've got a confession to make I killed a man today I didn't stop him from lighting the flame I didn't take the needles away I killed a man today I killed a man today Father please help me you don't understand I didn't mean to stray Father I offer the blood on my hands I saw the lines but I made no demands I killed a man today I killed a man today And in the dark a voice is crying out to heaven (hear the cry) Tell me you can hear it crying out to heaven (in the night) I wish that I could see him flying up to heaven (hear the cry) Die and go to heaven (say goodbye) Set me free, set me free Father forgive me I know what I've done Now I'm prepared to pay One of your children has faded away I just looked on and had nothing to say I killed a man today I killed a man today And in the dark a voice is crying out to heaven (hear the cry) Tell me you can hear it crying out to heaven (in the night) I wish that I could see him flying up to heaven (hear the cry) Die and go to heaven (say goodbye) Set me free, set me free And in the dark a voice is crying out to heaven (hear the cry) Tell me you can hear it crying out to heaven (in the night) I wish that I could see him flying up to heaven (hear the cry) Die and go to heaven (say goodbye) Set me free, set me free Father I've got a confession to make I killed a man today I didn't stop him from lighting the flame I didn't take the needles away I killed a man today I killed a man today
