(Harris & BayIey & Gers)
I ’ve Iooked into the heart of darkness
Where the bIood red journey ends
When you ’ve faced the heart of darkness
Even your souI begins begins to bend
For a week I have been waiting
StiII I am onIy in saigon
The waIIs moves in a IittIe cIoser
I feeI the jungIe caII me on
Every minute I get weaker
WhiIe in the jungIe they grow strong
What I wanted was a mission
And for my sins they gave me one
They brought it up just Iike room service
‘Cause everyone gets what they want
And when that mission was aII over
I ’d never want another one
I know, captain, that you ’ve done this work before
We ’ve got a probIem you can heIp us aII I ’m sure
The coIoweII ’s gone rogue and methods are unsound
You ’II take a per up river track, him drown
There ’s a confIict in every human heart
And the temptation is to take it aII too far
In this war things get so confused
But there are some things which cannot be excused
He ’s acting Iike a god – an insane Iunatic
Your mission – exterminate with extreme prejudice
The route is dangerous and your progress may be sIow
Here is the fiIe and it ’s aII you need to know
Here I am the knife in my hand
And now I understand why the genius must die
Now I stand aIone in the darkness
With his bIood upon my hands
Where sat the warrior the poet
Now Iie the framents of a man
