viva la victoria
(Erik MartenssonMagnus HenrikssonMiqael Persson)
(Frontiers recordsOyez!KashKow Music)
A blind man tries to lead the blind
I´m not sure what they hope to find
The edge is coming closer
Promises and alibis
A different game is played behind the scene
And soon it´s over
You better run, get away
We´re gonna take you down
We´re singing Viva la Victoria
Run, get away
You´re gonna lose your crown
Singing Viva la Victoria
The puppeteers don´t show their face




They pull the strings and leave no trace
Hey Ace! Now who´s the joker?

Overall Meaning

The song Viva La Victoria by Swedish rock band Eclipse is a powerful anthem about standing up against those in power and taking control of one's own life. The song starts with describing a situation where a blind man is trying to lead other blind people, and the singer is not sure what they hope to find. The edge is coming closer, and promises and alibis are being made, indicating that the situation is getting dangerous. However, a different game is being played behind the scenes by the puppeteers who do not show their faces but manipulate things from behind the scenes. Despite this, the singer urges people to run and get away and join the revolution. The chorus "We're singing Viva La Victoria" encourages people to join in the fight and stand up against the oppressors.


The lyrics urge individuals to stand up against those in power, and inspire them to fight for their own rights. The puppeteers behind the scenes represent the people who control society from behind the scenes, while the blind man leading the blind is a symbol of people who follow blindly without questioning. The song advocates running away from such toxic situations and joining together to form a powerful group of individuals who stand in solidarity. The use of words like "Viva" and "Victoria" stand for victory and brings a sense of hope for the future.
