Undercover is the theme song for 'Spy Capital' - documentary film supports and illustrates a popular claim
that Vienna, the Austrian capital, has been playing a role of a true world spy capital for the last 150 years and beyond.
The script covers the period from 1873 starting with the anniversary of Viennas World Exhibition as well as
the formation of a new spy agency agains Austria and Russia moving on to the (in)famous espionage case of Colonel Alfred Redl, who rose to head the counterintelligence department of the General
Staff of the Austro-Hungarian Army at the same time being a ‘mole’ spying for the Russians. When uncovered, Redl committed suicide in May 1913.
The film ends with the 2023 Russian - Ukrainian war and what connection the Austrian colonel Martin Möller has
with Putins SVR.
In a world of secrets,
where nothing is as it seems,
Spies are moving in shadows,
like they're living in unreal dreams,
The spies of Vienna follow you wherever you go,
The time is runnin’,
The secrets they’re gunnin’,
Reality is undercover!
A dance of illusions,
Where meanings are going to stray,
Behind hidden curtains,
Perceptions are starting to sway
The time is runnin’,
The secrets they’re gunnin’,
Reality is undercover!
