Lyrics by: Dave Mustaine

Music by: Dave Mustaine, Al Pitrelli

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
