Experiment IV (Extended Mix) [2018 Remaster] - Kate Bush

We were working secretly

For the military

Our experiment in sound

Was nearly ready to begin

We only know in theory what we are doing

Music made for pleasure

Music made to thrill

It was music we were making here until

They told us all they wanted

Was a sound that could kill someone

From a distance so we go ahead

And the meters are over in the red

It's a mistake in the making

From the painful cries of mothers

To the terrifying scream

We recorded it and put it into our machine

But that dream is your enemy

We won't be there to be blamed

We won't be there to snitch

I just pray that someone there

Can hit the switch

But they told us all they wanted

Was a sound that could kill someone

From a distance so we go ahead

And the meters are over in the red

It's a mistake we've made

And the public are warned to stay off
