Perhaps Trower's most famous album is Bridge of Sighs (1974). This album, along with his first (Twice Removed from Yesterday) and third (For Earth Below) solo albums, was produced by his former Procol Harum band mate, organist Matthew Fisher.
Those who favor electric guitarists who can play live what they record in the studio will be very impressed with the "Robin Trower Live" album - especially the cut "Daydream". While often compared to Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower never received the publicity nor same volume of fans.
Victims Of The Fury
Robin Trower Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shinin' gold to me
Every color of the rainbow
I was blessed by her decree
You were every moment's magic
Joy beyond compare
You were all the rays of sunlight
Victims of the fury
Shadows in the dark
Victims of the fury
Arrows found their mark
So we lived our days in rapture
Like the world could never end
We weren't thinkin' 'bout the future
We had time enough to spend
We were blessed as though in heaven
We were messengers of joy
There were angels all around us
There was none who dared destroy
Victims of the fury
Shadows in the dark
Victims of the fury
Arrows found their mark
Then the world collapsed around us
And the tables overturned
We were lambs before the slaughter
We were driven out and burned
Yes, the world collapsed around us
And the archers found their mark
We were victims of the fury
We were shadows in the dark
Yeah, victims of the fury
Shadows in the dark
Oh, victims of the fury
Arrows found their mark
Victims of the fury
Shadows in the dark
Victims of the fury
Arrows found their mark
The lyrics of Robin Trower's "Victims of the Fury" tell a story of love, joy, and destruction. The opening lines express gratitude and admiration for the person he loves. She is his ray of sunshine, the source of all his happiness, and his world is colorful and vibrant because of her. He feels blessed to have her in his life, and every moment with her feels magical. It is a love that is unbridled and authentic, and it defines his life.
As the story unfolds, we learn that these two people lived their lives as if the world would never end. They were so in love that they did not think about the future, and they had all the time in the world to enjoy each other's company. They cherished each other's existence, and their love was so beautiful that angels were all around them. It was a perfect love, but it was not meant to last.
The bridge of the song reveals the tragedy that struck this perfect love. The world collapsed around them, and they were powerless to stop it. The archers found their mark, and they were victims of the fury. They were shadows in the dark, unable to escape the chaos that surrounded them. It is a heartbreaking story of a love that was perfect but tragically short-lived.

Oh, victims of the fury
We were harmed by something powerful and destructive
