Heart of Darkness

Far into the unknown
 They find this land
 Yet unspoiled by time
 Its people quite defenseless
 Its riches ripe for the taking
 They brought the torch
 They brought the sword
 To seek their fame, to seek reward
 They venture into the jungles and mists
 And blinded, they see
 Only an infinite darkness
 ♪
 Darkness
 ♪
 The crack of whips, the clack of chains
 To bring the light but why such pain?
 To rule by force and domination
 And then to speak of civilization?
 The ivory face, the eyes so cold
 The lust for power, the glimmer of gold
 There lies a sickness deep in the soul
 One glance in the mirror
 Reveals an infinite darkness

 Darkness
 ♪
 Stained human soul which none can disguise
 What evil lurks in recesses of the mind?
 Would you chain another if you gained from their demise?
 To peer into this darkness means to face
 The horror
 
 The horror
 The horror
 The horror
 The horror within us all
 ♪
 Far, so far into the unknown
 The hateful seeds that have been sown
 The quest for wealth, that grim desire
 The severed hands, the homes afire
 Through the years, an unending stain
 The crack of whips, the clack of chains
 And even today, the echo remains
 Witness the still-beating heart, heart of darkness
