starting to sing.
Why?

And swords that cannot kill;

Enliven another like me.

SPOILER WARNING - DON’T READ THIS MESSAGE IF YOU DON’T WANT HELP
Hints for solving this riddle:
1) Figure out what the startling string is. It is the longest list of English words that can be generated by removing one letter at a time from the first word (and leaving the rest of the letters in order). For example “splits split spit sit it I” is a 6 word string, but the longest is a 9 word string. If you can’t figure this out on your own, you might like to write a computer program or search Google for: startling string (although now your top hit may be to the One Dollar Jackpot!).
2) Figure out what my sin was when I desecrated the startling string.
3) It should now be obvious why I am singing.
… and yes, I made this riddle up just for you at One Dollar Jackpot, so you are collectively the first eyes to ever see it. It took me more than a minute, but I hope you liked it anyway.
