Lyrics
Down past the signs where the yellow trefoils
gleam
Ten tons of steel around a megavolt
beam First patient comes when the
morning sun breaks
Failure is something this vault
never takes
The four in the morning, magnetron blown
Inside the bunker, working alone
Climb up the gantry, wrench in my hand
Six million electron volts on demand I vacuum seal and the
cooling is cold Replacing the tube as the story unfolds
Align the collimator, set the jaw straight
Precision to millimeters,
seal in their fate
The beam must be pure
The beam must be true
30 more people
Are counting on you
RF power charging
Vacuum Loctite
Target
Target calibrated
Fire I AM THE
BEAST!
Interlock clear, the green light is on
Sunlight is creeping, the shadow is gone
Seven a .m., the first footsteps arrive
They don't know my name, but they're leaving alive
The lead doors are open, the treatment will run
Another long night behind the big gun
Zero tolerance, maximum focus
Let it shine!
Dose Calibrated 100 100%,
ready for patient one.
you
