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   Oh oh oh, oh oh oh      I know Captain that you've done this work before   We've got a problem you can help us I am 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 too 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   Your route is dangerous and your progress may be slow   Here is the file and it's all you need to know   Oh oh oh, oh oh oh      Here I am the knife in my hand   And now I understand why the genius must die      Now I stand alone in 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   I've looked into the heart of darkness
