THE EDGE OF DARKNESS - Iron Maiden from The X Factor (1995) album written by Steve Harris Blaze Bayley Janick Gers B5/E 0244xx D5/A x002xx [Intro] / / / x4 / / / x2 [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 (distorted power chords) [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Riff] x3 [Bridge 1] 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... [Riff] [Bridge 2] 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 [Bridge 3] 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... [Riff] Oo’ooh... [Solo 1] x2 [Solo 2] x2 [Instrumental] x4 [Pre-chorus] Here I am the knife in my hand And now I understand why the genius must die [Chorus 1] 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 (clean picking) [Chorus 2] 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 [Outro] I’ve looked into the heart of darkness... -TTP

Cette chanson évoque l'expérience troublante d'un individu plongé au cœur des ténèbres, un voyage où il fait face à ses propres démons tout en étant confronté à la guerre et à la violence. Le protagoniste décrit sa faiblesse croissante alors qu'il se retrouve dans un environnement sauvage et menaçant, attendant une mission qui pourrait révéler le meilleur ou le pire de lui-même. Dans un monde confus, il se rend compte que les actions motivées par une quête de pouvoir et de contrôle peuvent mener à des conséquences tragiques. Le contexte semble ancré dans une lutte militaire, où la frontière entre le devoir et la moralité se brouille, et où l'on doit faire face aux réalités sombres de l'âme humaine. Ce thème étant universel, il soulève des questions sur la nature de la violence et les choix difficiles que l'on doit parfois faire.
