The Edge Of Darkness Lyrics - The X Factor - Iron Maiden

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 to far 

In this war things get so confused 

But there are some things 

Which cannot 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 the darkness 

With his blood upon my hands 

Where sat the warrior the poet 

Now lie the 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
