Porton Down - Peter Hammill

Porton Down - Peter Hammill
Won＇t hear a sound at Porton Down
The clear liquids keep their silence
Buried underground at Porton Down
The fast form of the final violence
Quite right to be worried about the proliferation
Of nuclear bombs and power stations
But there＇s a deterrent that＇s going to
Unearth us yet
Hurry on round about Porton Down
A quick glimpse of the future warfare
Hidden under ground at Porton Down;
Far too frightening to
Utter what you saw there
They got bacteria to drop us where we stand
They got diseases still unknown to man
They got the virus and a microgram＇s enough
To do in a continent
The ultimate madness
Just one shattered test-tube
To wipe out the world
It begins with the mustard gas
It proceeds to Hiroshima
The culture moves on
Now it＇s bacterial truly insane
Porton Down waits to fever the brain
Won＇t hear a sound at Porton Down
The clear liquids keep their silence
Buried underground at Porton Down
The fast form of the final violence
Hurry on round about Porton Down
A quick glimpse of the future warfare
Hidden underground at Porton Down
Far too frightening to say what you saw there
No sound at Porton Down
From Porton Down
After Porton Down
From Porton Down
No sound at Porton Down
