|
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 |
