Heart Of Darkness

In every man there's good and bad

Madness lurks in every brain

Do you know what's deep in your head

Are you a genius or insane

Sometimes the borders deep in you just fall

General's gone mad in Vietnam

Became a god a lonely one

Once a soldier of great fame he was

Now killing seems all the same in wars

Sometimes the other side breaks through the wall

You do your duty, just don't ask why

Kill him with a cold heart, he's damned to die

The river leads you all the way, you never stop

You fight to live another day, can't ever stop

We're fighting for freedom

We're fighting for peace

We're serving our country

We're fighting for god

You feel the madness, the jungle breeds

It all seems useless, heroic deeds

Madness creeps into your deepst core, and in your soul



[Chorus:]

In the heart of darkness

I see the fire in the eastern sky

In the heart of darkness

Soldiers fighting for a lie



Man, you're crazy, believe me, you're not god

Who's to say so, ain't we, all the same

Man, you slaughter, it's useless, what's your game

All is useless, was games, it seems insane

I observed a snail creeping on the edge of a razor blade

That's my dream, that is my nightmare

To creep on the edge of the razor blade and survive

You did your duty, the general is dead

But you paid a high price, your min's gone mad

Somehow the general had his way, a point of no retun

The memories haunt you night and day, in your soul the burn
