Heart Of Darkness Lyrics - Grave Digger

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 other side breaks through the wall 

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 

Survive, Survive 

You did your duty, the general is dead 

But you paid a high price, your mind's gone mad 

Somehow the general had his way, a point of no return 

The memories haunt you night and day, in your soul they burn 

[Chorus]
