Theme
A song rooted in conspiracy theories, specifically the existence of a secret facility (Hangar 18 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base) allegedly housing captured alien technology and extraterrestrial corpses. The lyrics detail the discovery of this inventory and the military's subsequent cover-up and attempts to silence witnesses.
Lyrics
Welcome to our fortress tall
Take some time to show you around
Impossible to break these walls
For you see the steel is much too strong
Computer banks to rule the world
Instruments to sight the stars
Possibly I've seen to much
Hangar 18 I know too much
Foreign life forms inventory
Suspended state of cryogenics
Selective amnesia's the story
Believed foretold but who'd suspect
The military Intelligence
Two words combined that can't make sense
Possibly I've seen to much
Hangar 18 I know too much
