Theme
A sequel to the classic 'Hangar 18' (from *Rust in Peace*). This track revisits the themes of a secret military base, alien life forms, cover-ups, and the danger of knowing too much, portraying the location as a derelict 'empty fortress' after the disaster.
Lyrics
Welcome to an empty fortress
A mighty wreck that once was proud
Ate alive by oxidation
Abandoned by a crew of cowards
Navigation systems failed
Computers crashed and they all fall down
Possibly I've seen too much
**Hangar 18** I know too much
All the guilty paid the price
Suspended by their broken necks
No one survived to tell the story
When foreign life forms resurrect
And **military intelligence** is
Still two words that can't make sense
Possibly I've seen too much
**Hangar 18** I know too much
