The Edge Of Darkness lyrics:

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 Weak
While in the jungle THEY grow strong
What I Wanted Was a mission
And for my sins Gave me one THEY

Theys Brought it up just like room service
'Cause everyone gets What They Want
That mission and when to WAS all over
I'd never want Another One

I know, captain,
That you've done this work Before
We've got a problem
You Can Help Us All I'm sure
The colonel's gone rogue
And His methods are unsound
You'll take a PBR up river track down HIM

There's a conflict in Every Human Heart
And the temptation IS to take it all to far
In this war Things get so confused
Purpose There Are Some Things
Which Can not Be Excused

He's acting like a God - an insane lunatic
Your mission - exterminate
With Extreme Prejudice
The road is dangerous
And your progress May Be Slow
Here Is The File And It's All You Need to Know

Here I am the knife in my hand
And Now I Understand Why the genius must die

Now I stand alone in the Darkness
With His blood upon my hands
Where the warrior sat The Poet
Now The binding 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
