Hangar 18

Hangar 18
UFO conspiracy theories, or possibly Hangar 18, the 1980 film based on those theories, inspired drummer Nick Menza to write the lyrics.Shortly thereafter, frontman Dave Mustaine composed the bulk of the music. The intro is a rapidly strummed version of the D-minor arpeggio that Mustaine wrote for the Metallica instrumental track "The Call of Ktulu", which was the final Metallica music he was credited for. Hangar 18 is located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, and it is speculated that an alien aircraft was brought there from Roswell in 1947. The song reached number #25 on the Irish Singles Chart,also reached number #26 on the UK Singles Chart.

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
