Verse 1[edit]
Walkin' to a party on a windy night with the papers blowin' round like autumn leaves
Street lamp sputters as I see dudes leanin' out of windows smokin' pipes in shirt-sleeves
There's a lady goin' with me through the narrow streets and I really wanna ask her but I don't know how
And she's wonderin' what's the matter but I don't dare tell her and I'm wishin' she could see just what I'm feelin' now
'Cause I got a
Chorus[edit]
Heart of darkness
Woman, can't you see?
Heart of darkness
The darkness inside of me
Heart of darkness
Something no one's ever seen
Heart of darkness
It's impossible to say just what I mean!
Verse 2[edit]
Walkin' up the steps and within that moment are revisions and decisions that I could make
The scene is so familiar, I been here so many times, I could change things up, make a great escape
But in I go, and I know my life is but a series of conventions I observe as I approach my doom
And she's standin' there - I wonder, what's she thinking? do I have a chance? and how should I presume?
Chorus 2[edit]
Heart of darkness
Woman, is it true?
Heart of darkness
Darkness inside you too
Heart of darkness
Something no one's ever known
Heart of darkness
Livin' as we dream - alone.
Verse 3[edit]
Walkin' back home like I do every night, 'cause I never do anything different in life
The door to my apartment, twenty-three. Memory! You have the key - the last twist of the knife
Could I have chosen something else, another way for myself, a path leading through a rose-garden wall?
Wipe my mouth and laugh, 'cause there's no way of knowing where anything is going - darkness all. (Darkness, darkness, darkness, ALL.)
Chorus 3[edit]
Heart of darkness
Woman and man apart
Heart of darkness
Cry across the abyss of art
Heart of darkness
Because I hope one day to see
Heart of darkness
And let my cry come unto Thee.
