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

    General Comment:My god, get your facts straight guys.

    I don't even listen to Megadeth, but I know for sure what this song is all about.

    Hangar 18 is the name given to a hangar somewhere in Area 51 (wich is located in Groom Lake, south Nevada) where there is (according to Bob Lazar, ex-worker on S4, a secret place that works with Area-51. It may be somewhere in the hills right south of Area 51, if you check on google maps. It's hidden, like, it's just doors that are IN the mointains, painted the same colour as the ground, with sand on it) a flying saucer that was caught by Area-51 and hidden for further analysis. Bob Lazar was the chosen one to go and analyse that saucer. He said fucked up things about, like, it became invisible when he got in it, and shits like this. That guy was kidnapped after the few interviews he gave.

    So, the song's about that fact that military intelligence and governement are hiding us the truth about UFOs, aliens and all that stuff. They know it's real, but don't want to tell the people for whatever reason.

    If you search a little on the internet (Wiki helps a lot) you can find interesting shits about this.

    ...people, people, people. The best guitarist (which unfortunately died due to a fucking asshole "fan") is Dimebag. Even Though Dave Mustain is quit good, he wasn't the best guitarist.


    No fucking way! The best guitarist is no other than Joe Satriani.People underrate him. Dimebag didnt suck but he has stolen a few Sabbath riffs. Phil Anselmo has even said it. Satriani taught Kirk Hammett and Steve Vai and look how awesome they are.
