Triumph

Intro

(Click, click) — shutter snaps through time

Four white horses, dust in line

Rome is watching, Rome is loud

Verse

Chariot rolling, gold on the wheels

General standing, the city kneels

Slaves in columns, heads bowed low

Treasure wagons, the empire’s glow

Incense burning, sweet through the stink

Citizens cheering, the whole town drinks

Pride in the blood, fear in the air

Everyone knows who won out there

Chorus

Triumph, triumph, hear it roar

Triumph, triumph, never before

March through the streets, let the whole world see

Rome puts the show on, Rome sets you free

(oh-oh, oh-oh)

Triumph, triumph, remember the day

Triumph, triumph, it won’t go away

Verse

Smell of horses, sweat and smoke

Chains keep clinking, no one spoke

Spoils of war shine in the sun

Everything stolen, everything won

Non-citizens shiver, citizens swell

This is the story they’ll always tell

One day only, then it’s done

But the message stays: we have won

Chorus

Triumph, triumph, hear it roar

Triumph, triumph, never before

March through the streets, let the whole world see

Rome puts the show on, Rome sets you free

(oh-oh, oh-oh)

Triumph, triumph, remember the day

Triumph, triumph, it won’t go away

Bridge

But Paul takes the picture, turns it around

Same parade, different crown

We’re the captives now, led in the line

Christ in the chariot, incense is mine

(yeah, yeah)

Chorus

Triumph, triumph, hear it roar

Triumph, triumph, never before

March through the streets, let the whole world see

Rome puts the show on, Rome sets you free

(oh-oh, oh-oh)

Triumph, triumph, remember the day

Triumph, triumph, it won’t go away

The road keeps moving, the scent remains
