Shadow Gallery - The Andromeda Strain lyrics

Lying by the dying flame Drifting off to sleep She drops the black leather journal She's been clutching tight She's a bio-engineer, hazard level four She works the hot zone all the day The demon seed smallpox weapons grade Bought from Israeli intelligence Gone rouge for a price Decode the genome right down to the DNA You break the code and you just might save the day A serpent rising genetic weaponizing There's a portent of pure evil lying out there in the dark The hand of terror stands poised to ride out on the wind Can we counter this undeserved hatred Through our science and our research and the wisdom of our age Or are we doomed to suffer at the hands of the Andromeda Strain? Microscopic warfare the demon will retreat From breakthrough after breakthrough Using her own rare blood type the serum came to life Time to publish and go clinical trial But wait, a secret document sealed slipped through A most insidious plot unfolds Limited release to drive the need through the roof The guaranteed supply secures the deal it's been approved Assuring the quarter and the year A serpent rising genetic weaponizing What kind of twisted mind turns terror into cash Sends the innocent to their d**h You try to fight it but criminals united Pharmaceutical injustice is a terror all its own For want of power and love for the bottom line They'll unleash the Andromeda Strain A serpent rising genetic weaponizing Script the sequence of the serum incorrectly to lead them on Steal the formula destroy the seed and run Need to fight back this undeserved terror Through our science and our research and the cunning of our ways Or we're sure to suffer at the hands I'll disappear underground Prepare to fight the next round The Andromeda Strain
