The Edge Of Darkness Lyrics by Iron Maiden

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 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

    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 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 can not be excused

    He's acting like a god an insane lunatic
    Your mission - exterminate with extreme prejudice
    The route 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 darkness
    With his blood upon my hands
    Where sat the warrior the poet
    Now lie the fragments of a man
