The Edge of Darkness-Song

The Edge of Darkeness
Lyrics:
I've looked into the eyes of the darkness
Where the red blood 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 stronger
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 Captian that you've done this work before
We've got a problem you can help us I am sure
The Cononel'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 acing 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 is blood upon my hands
Where sat the warrios, the poet
Now lie the fragments of a man

I've looked into the heart of the darkness
Where the blood red journey ends
When you've faced the heart of the darkness
Even your soul begins to bend
I've looked into the heart of the darkness

I chose this song because it is about the Vietnam war and how the stress placed on the soldiers made them go insane. It also goes with my blog because the soldier I'm portaying is starting to slip into a dark part of his mind.
