|
I've looked into the heart of darkness
|
Where the blood-red journey ends
|
When you've faced the heart of darkness
|
Even your soul begins to bend
|
|
For a week I have been waiting
|
Still I am only in Saigon
|
The walls move in a little closer
|
I feel the jungle call me on
|
|
Every minute I get weaker
|
While in the jungle they grow strong
|
What I wanted was a mission
|
And for my sins they gave me one
|
|
They brought it up just like room service
|
'Cause everyone gets what they want
|
And when that mission was all over
|
I'd never want another one
|
|
I know, captain,
|
That you've done this work before
|
We've got a problem
|
You can help us all I'm sure
|
The colonel's gone rogue
|
And his methods are unsound
|
You'll take a PBR up river track him down
|
|
There's a conflict in every human heart
|
And the temptation is to take it all to far
|
In this war things get so confused
|
But there are some things
|
Which cannot be excused
|
|
He's acting like a God - an insane lunatic
|
Your mission - exterminate
|
With extreme prejudice
|
The route is dangerous
|
And your progress may be slow
|
Here is the file and it's all you need to know
|
|
Here I am the knife in my hand
|
And now I understand why the genius must die
|
|
Now I stand alone in the darkness
|
With his blood upon my hands
|
Where sat the warrior the poet
|
Now lie the fragments of a man
|
|
I've looked into the heart of darkness
|
Where the blood-red journey ends
|
When you've faced the heart of darkness
|
Even your soul begins to bend
|
