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 walls 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 You do your duty, just don't ask why Kill 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 You are there standing more and more You loose control Oh, madness creeps into your deepest core, And in your soul In the heart of darkness 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, war 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 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 retun The memories haunt you night and day, in your soul they burn
