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
