[Verse 1]
I’ve looked in
to the heart of
darkness
Where the
blood-red journey
ends
When you’ve
faced the heart of
darkness
Even your
soul begins to
bend
[Verse 2]
For a
week I have been
waiting
Still I am
only in Sai
gon
The walls move
in a little
closer
I feel the
jungle call me
on
(distorted power chords)
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
They brought it
up just like room
service
’Cause every
one gets what they
want
And when that
mission was all
over
I’d never
want another
one

[Bridge 1]
I know, captain, that you’ve
done this work before
We’ve got a problem, you can
help us all I’m
su
re
The colonel’s gone rogue, and his
methods are unsound
You’ll take a PBR up
river track him
down…
[Bridge 2]
There’s a conflict in
every human heart
And the temptation is to
take it all to
fa
r
In this war
things get so confused
But there are some things which
cannot be ex
cu
sed
[Bridge 3]
He’s acting like a God – an
insane lunatic
Your mission – exterminate with
extreme preju
di
ce
The route is dangerous and your
progress may be slow
Here is the file and it’s
all you
need to know…

[Pre-cborus]
Here I am the
knife in my hand
And now
I understand why the
genius must
die
[Cborus 1]
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
(clean picking)
[Cborus 2]
I’ve looked in
to the heart of
darkness
Where the
blood-red journey
ends
When you’ve
faced the heart of
darkne
ss
Even your
soul begins to
bend
I’ve looked in
to the heart of
darkness…
