lyrics

Now it’s Time
You Knew
(Something of)
The Truth

The story that we’ve told you
About the Emese’s crew
Would have stayed hidden from view
Had we not stumbled on clues
Hard to believe but it’s true
Overheard a barfly in ‘92
Mumbling to himself after a few
So we ordered a Palinka or two

A Major in the Army Corps
His first tour was in ‘64
Stationed on Balaton’s shore
Right on Topolca’s front door
His story too hard to believe
We got up and started to leave
That’s when he smiled and he gleamed
And showed a photo of his team

Three soldiers standing in-a-row
In front of a flatbed silo
Behind them the a Volcano
What it meant we had to know
So then we let the drinks flow
He started to put on a show
Shouting about underground bases,
soviet spaceships and the space race!

Unknown Heroes
Less Than Zeros
The Winners Chosen
Truth was Frozen

(If You) Don’t Like my Views
Unknown
Just Call Them Fake News
Zeros

Back to that bar in ‘92
Our Major was far from through
He spoke of the Coldest of Wars
With Apollo behind closed doors
Moscow was desperate for more
Manned spaceflight more than a chore
Interkosmos an ideal ruse
To launch expendable crews

They built their mission control
Right under Kadar’s own nose
Top secret tests began soon
Top local pilots trained & groomed
Their names were changed
No family graves, but promised fortune & fame
to make Hungary great they sealed their fates and launched in 1968

Was...
This…
Truth…
Or…
Lies…
Told by some guy, in a drunken stream
Like a fever dream, to make us scream
change history it seemed


Running drunken out of the bar
Stumbling tumbling towards our car
We tripped and landed on our lumbar
looked up to the skies and saw stars
What if he was speaking moon truth?
What if this was more than fake news?
What if there was an Emese and crew?
We pass now all these questions to you...

Chorus
Unknown Heroes
More Than Zeros
The Winners Chosen
Truth is Unfrozen

(If You) Don’t Like our Views
Unknown
(Just) Call Us Fake News
Zeros
