A song based on Half-Life

Lyrics:

They come prepared for warfare.
Men of science,
What have you done?
They come prepared for warfare.
Men of science,
What have you done?

Alien forces
Come to hurt us
Other dimensions
Will tear us apart
Limb from limb
Foreign forces
You can’t hurt us
Open all channels
First contact’s dangerous
Please send help

I come prepared for warfare
A man of science,
What have I done?
I come prepared for warfare
A man of science,
What have I done?

Coming to save us,
Oh, Freeman, forward!
Set us free!

Leave while you can
Find an exit
(They come prepared for warfare
Men of science,
What have you done?)
(I come prepared for warfare
A man of science,
What have I done?)

Time to wake up
Rise and shine
Smell the ashes
