[Verse 1] Six clusters standing like six locked doors Four already open, Ireland's keeping score Cluster one in June, cluster six in July's heat Two and three cracked open mid-October, clean and neat Micheál Martin's the host, chairing from his Irish seat Says before his gavel passes he could make the set complete Four and five remaining, environment and energy ground But to swing a door wide, all twenty-seven gotta turn that sound [Chorus] Four of six, four of six, the count is real, no lie Two clusters waiting on a nod before the clock runs dry Twenty-seven voices, and one no stops the show Hungary's the holdout, and the headline didn't say so [Verse 2] November tenth, Budapest says "not today" Screening approval shelved, that's twice they've said no way First refusal back in October twentieth, on the record plain A diplomat just shrugs and says "no change" again Chentsov says it's farm books, power lines, and water tests Hungary wants to study every line before it rests bne IntelliNews hears others whisper "give it time" Cluster four and five got more eyes than just the Hungary line And here's the correction, plain as a bell that tolled: Not three gates swung open — it was four, the full tale told [Chorus] Four of six, four of six, the count is real, no lie Two clusters waiting on a nod before the clock runs dry Twenty-seven voices, and one no stops the show Hungary's the holdout, and the headline didn't say so [Verse 3] Opening a cluster ain't a membership card in hand Commission eyes conclusion, twenty twenty-eight's the stand Then two to two-and-a-half years of ratifying ink Twenty-seven parliaments gotta sign before you blink Tomorrow up in Dublin, Zelensky takes the floor Political Community summit, knocking on the door December thirty-first the Irish gavel's passed along Watch the Working Party vote — that's where it's right or wrong [Bridge] Obdurate's the word for a door that just won't give Stubborn as an old hinge, rusted where it lives Hungary stays obdurate while the calendar runs thin Four of six ain't six of six — remember where we've been [Verse 4] Twenty-seven stars but one single veto's weight Enlargement's a marathon, Hungary sets the gait Six clusters mirror chapters, thirty-five in total span Each one a chapter closing, building out the plan Kyiv watches Brussels, Brussels watches Budapest Every summit, every statement, another kind of test The war grinds on beyond the borders, patience wearing thin Four of six is progress, but the finish line's still dim Orbán holds the pen that either opens up or stalls While Dublin keeps the ledger straight behind the Irish walls [Outro] Dublin's holding summits, Hungary's holding lines Four of six clusters open, two still stuck on vines That's the Europe story, November twelve, plain and true Check the facts, not the headline — that's the work we do
