about

History Prevails aims at the current Hungarian regime's will to fake history through statues that alter the memory of Holocaust. The lyrics of this songs were based on the controversial setting of Szabadság square's memorial that denies Hungary's responsibility in the Holocaust. But the track itself also summarises the current Hungarian regime’s pattern on rewriting our cultural heritage in the favour of their political will.

lyrics

Should I face the eagle that haunts me in my dream?
It's late night,
and I can't sleep.

There's a lot going on my mind,
I yearn, I learn, I probe.

Waving flags without a true heartbeat,
placing wreaths next to the concrete,
(while) suffer and pain formed a statue,
history books prevail on the untrue.

It's a long ride and I won't stop -
There's still so much things to tell
Passing the torch without a doubt
on silence and empty streets.
Forgiveness can't become an option,
all my worries would lead me astray.

A statue can't shape my sole bequest
a clandestine gesture won't be missed

Flags can't shape our sole bequest
We must speak up for the oppressed!

I try my best
but the past can't hold me down.

Waving flags without a true heartbeat,
placing wreaths next to the concrete,
(while) suffer and pain formed a statue,
history books prevail on the untrue.

It's a long ride and I won't stop -
There's still so much things to tell
Passing the torch without a doubt
on silence and empty streets.
Forgiveness can't become an option,
all my worries would lead me astray.

I try my best
but the past can't hold me down.
