This Is Aperture

Compositor: Harry Callaghan

Cores and turrets on every stage
Wouldn't you like to escape this cage?
Come to us and you'll be sure
You're not safe in aperture

This is aperture!
This is aperture!
Test subjects die once they're in sight
This is aperture!
Everybody hit the floor!
Take a seat till the neurotoxin makes you die!
It's not safe, we're sure
You're not safe in aperture

I'm the one that's keeping you alive
Because, you know, it's bloody hard to survive!
I'm the one that wants to test
Maybe at the end I'll let you rest!

This is aperture!
This is aperture!
Aperture! Aperture! Aperture! Aperture!
You're not safe, in this place
All of us warn you of the big white face

You're safe, don't you struggle now
Don't you want your nice big cake?
Down that corridor, running to the exit door
She's waiting there for grab and kill you!

Run!
This is aperture!
White and grey
And slightly blue!
Want some cake?
Well, none for you

Portal here, portal there, throw a turret in the air!
Watch for the bulllets that'll graze your hair
Everybody run! Everybody run!
You're not safe in aperture

I'm the bot with the adorable face
Ready to shoot you in your place!
I'm the reject that gave you a scare!
I'm the voice that you hear in there!
I'm the head of this great place
And I just bought some rocks from space!

This is aperture!
This is aperture!
Aperture! Aperture! Aperture!
Aperture! Aperture! Aperture!

Testing subjects usually die
Science isn't fun without cianyde
That's the drill that you may die
As you're not safe in aperture

You're safe, don't you struggle now!
Don't you want your nice big cake?
Glados the giant may fill your room with neurotoxin
Shoot you with a rocket turret
Turn you in to burning mush!
This is aperture! Everybody run!
You better escape to a much saffer place

Our dear chell is master of the portal gun
Everybody help her in her flight
Now!
This is aperture!
This is aperture!
Aperture! Aperture! Aperture! Aperture!
You're not safe, in this place
All of us warn you of the big white face
La, la, la, la la la, la, la, la la la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la
