Vamp:
No hesitating...
Or Retrograding
We’re engaging
No star gazing
Engines Blazing
Fear is raging
For the ages
Locked in cages
(AHHHS)
Imitating
Here them waiting
Contemplating
Celebrating
No more waiting…
Imitating
No Imitations
Just celebrations…
Ahhhh….
Sit back and enjoy the ride

We burst through the clouds
A trail of fire and sound
Our leaders far beneath
Our nexus of fear
Being trapped in the stratosphere
The ground is gone
We're rising on
The Earth gives way
To a brand new day
That soul quenching thirst
Of finally coming first
Above the blue, nothing to hold on to
Sling shot in deepest dark
Our cosmic Ark
We’re on our own
In the clear unknown
Weightless in space
A new kind of grace
Falling down
Turned Upside Round
Our capsule of sound
Our mission is now
Emese!
So we’re on our own
In the clear unknown
Weightless in space
A new kind of grace
The Sun is Gone
No light no dawn
We arrived too soon
To the dark side of the Moon

They’ll push us out
You’ll pull us in
We’ll grope the dark
We’ll grasp the wind
If we live
Through this night
We’ll have been
First in flight
The beginning of
The end is now
Do we stay
Stay the course
Disengage reverse
We wish upon a star traverse
We’ll Land Tonight
Like a Moth to light
We’ll Land Tonight
Turul In Flight
We’re pulled right into you
We’ll push right onto you
We’ll be a part of you
We’ll take a part of you
If we can STAY... ALIVE!
Through this DAY… or NIGHT
If We STAY ALIVE
We’ll hold the light
Give In….
Give In...
To the push and pull
To the push and pull
Just Stabilize
This Endless Flight
Just stabilize this Endless Night
Give In….!
To the push and pull

Sea of Tranquility
09:24
|
|||
Way off in the distance
Above your skylines
On the edge of existence
Our time has arrived
We descended from the heavens
To claim our cosmic prize
We’ll plant our nation’s flag now
Hungary to be immortalized
A Star is Born
Just three small steps
For our humanity
Just three small steps
To walk upon the sea
Of Tranquility
Of Tranquility…
Stardust is worn
Moonboots upon the screen
The shot pans out
So the world can finally see
A star is born
The moon for all to see
A star is born
It’s live on your TV
How could this be
Some failed technology
There’s no one to see
All this tranquility
We must repair the feed
If there all to see
This tranquility
Captured it must be
If no one sees
What we see
on this sea
Then no one knows
What we’ve done
Or where we’ve come
One small step back
Just one redo
A small setback
One small SNAFU
I’m out of space
We’re out of view
Hand me a wrench
Unlock that case
The gear looks fine
Head back inside
Try again in five
I’ll plant the flag
Get Earth in sight
Set the shot up right
Another step or two
find the perfect spot
Take some moon rocks
Get our samples too
This powder’s rough
Like ash and diamonds
Chatter: More bad news Major
the video feed’s still not responding
No… I won’t… Be denied
This endless night…
We survived… All this way
It won’t be in vain..
Back to the LEM
Gain control again
Our engineers
Will fix the gear
What’s time in Space
All we need’s some patience
No time to stay
No way to prove
Our own dear world
All that we’ve found
Turul no more
We leave the moon
Back to our crew
A star unborn

Second Stage

The questions, unanswered
The answers are questioned
Our transmission was halted
No mission accomplished
Now out of its orbit
Survival’s a gambit
To earth we draw nearer
We turn to the mirror
You can’t calm down
When you can’t come down
They spun us round
And then cut the sound
You questioned my answers
So answer these questions
Injustice or dumb fate?
Are we pawns in our own game?
Was it human, these errors?
Or internal terror
You landed Turul
You damaged the module
You best calm down
Or I’ll take you down
You’ve been spun around
You have no grounds
If you can’t calm down
I’ll tie you down
Till we break the sound
And hit the ground
You’ll question my answers
I’ll still answer the questions
No Injustice, no dumb fate
We’re just pawns in our own game
Our quest for the glory
Make us footnotes to our story
We’ll bring back our moondust
But who’d ever trust us
We can’t go down
We should turn around
I’d rather die in flight
Than put up a fight
Yeah they let us down
Sabotaged our sound
And if we reach the ground
They’ll let us drown
So I won’t calm down
You’ll have to tie me down
Cause I won’t back down
Until I’m in the ground
You can spin your theories in your own time.
You can drink your poison in your own time.
Our tin can’s spinning and there’s no time
I’m swallowing all my pride
transmit all this dissonance
come catch some dissa-rays

The Emese
05:18
|

We can’t go nowhere
We must go somewhere
We must move forward
We can’t move backwards
We must react to
No reaction
No more can we rely
In voices from the sky
We must adapt to
What has happened
Take stock of our supplies
While there is still some time
We can’t stay nowhere
We must land somewhere
We’re gravity defined
It’s law we can’t defy
We must draw earth-ward
Our final rebirth
We’ll burst out from the skies
A fireball of surprise
To Rule
Know More
In Space
No More
Space Walk
Know More
One Burn
No More
Just one more turn
We finally turn homeward
One more burn
Then back to our world now
They’ll learn our names
Like Laika and Gagarin
And forget the phrase
N-A-S-A
And U-S-A...
He must survey
The Emese now
To see if she’s alright
To make our final flight
Three days to go
To get back home
We’ll ration our supplies
Without answering the whys
Our trust in Moscow
Irrelevant now
Did they build our spaceship right
To survive the return flight
He’s through the hatch now
Let’s hold our breath now
For the ship and for his fate
In the hands of outer space
Just one more turn
We finally turn homeward
One more burn
Then back to our world now
They’ll forget the names
Laika and Gagarin
And remember always
We are the Emese! (3x)
Oh Emese
Space Walk
Know More
Damaged
No More
One Burn
No More
One Hole
No More
Our Journey home’s begun
On the Skyway from the Sun
Three days until we’re done
With Earth we’ll soon be one
Like a gift from the skies
We’ll swoop in from the dark
With the strength of Csaba’s army
And the light of his spark
Our Journey home’s begun
On the Skyway from the Sun
And if our leaders abandoned us
Left us for dead
The cheering crowds will defeat them
Lift us high on their heads
Three days until we’re done
With Earth we’ll soon be one
No communist lies
Or capitalist plots
Not sabotaged gear
Our ship can’t be stopped
On the Skyway from the Sun
With Earth we’ll soon be one
Our own new world of opportunities
We’ll be made socialist deities

Free Fall Through Space
No grace just pace
Fall..ing Fast..er
O-Zone Blaster
There’s no time to think
[No day no night
No sleep just fright]
We’re slaves to gravity
[Walls now too tight
Fear shows all right]
Slow Down
We Must Remain
Calm Now
If we’re going to
There’s no time to think
We’re slaves to gravity
There’s no time to waste
This is the Space Race
[Free Fall Solo
Not far to Go
Heat Now Grow ing
Friction Show ing]
[Time to Breathe deep
No food no sleep
Near the line now
Can we slow down]
Slow Down
We Must Remain
Calm Now
If we’re going to
There’s no time to think
We’re slaves to gravity
There’s no time to waste
We’re being Space Erased
[Free Fall Solo
Not far to Go
Heat Now Churning
Fire-ball Burning
Time to Breathe deep
No food no sleep
Past the line now
No-way to slow down]
There’s no time to be
Footnotes to history
There’s no time or space
This is the end of the race……
[Free Fall No Net
Splash Down Not Yet
Fall..ing Fast..er
Avoid Dis-as-ter
No day no night
The end of our flight
Walls now too hot
Gave all we got...............................}

A Message from Earth
07:37
|

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!

The Winners Chosen
Truth was Frozen

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
