The exposure also gave way to a deal with RCA Records, which reissued the debut as well as Triumph's sophomore effort, 1977's Rock & Roll Machine, which spawned the group's first semi-hit single, a cover of Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way." It was also around this time that the group became known for its concerts, which relied heavily on pyrotechnics and an intricate light show (just in case their following couldn't figure this out themselves, the trio penned a track called "Blinding Light Show").
With their stock rising among hard rock fans, Triumph inked a new recording contract with MCA, which led to their most successful period both artistically and commercially. Such resulting albums as 1979's Just a Game and 1980's Progressions of Power inched the group closer to breakthrough success, which was obtained by a pair of back-to-back gold-certified albums: 1981's Allied Forces (often considered the group's best album, which spawned the hit anthem "Fight the Good Fight") and 1982's Never Surrender. Such further albums as 1984's Thunder Seven, 1985's Stages, 1985's The Sport of Kings, and 1987's Surveillance failed to meet the expectations set by Triumph's earlier releases, yet the group was able to retain its following. Come 1988, Emmett opted to leave the group to pursue a solo career, but instead of calling it a day, Moore and Levine decided to carry on with a new frontman/guitarist, while an 11-track best-of set, Classics, was issued a year after Emmett's exit.
Their first choice, ex-Thin Lizzy/Whitesnake member John Sykes, was too busy getting his project Blue Murder off the ground at the time, so the gig ultimately went to former Frozen Ghost/Aldo Nova associate Phil X (it was also around this time that the group built its own recording studio in Mississauga, Ontario, called Metalworks). The Phil X-led version of the group only managed to issue a single release, however, 1993's Edge of Excess, before Triumph split up for good. In the wake of their breakup, several archival releases popped up in record stores, such as 1995's In the Beginning and 1996's King Biscuit Flower Hour (the latter of which chronicled a 1981 concert), while Rik Emmett continued on with his solo career, issuing albums on a regular basis throughout the '90s.
In 2007, it was announced that Triumph were to be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. Subsequently, the original lineup of Emmett, Levine, and Moore reunited for several high-profile live shows leading up to their induction into the Hall of Fame during the 2008 Juno Awards. In 2012, the band released the DVD/CD set Live at Sweden Rock Festival, which documents Triumph's reunion concert from 2008.

Fool For Your Love
Triumph Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me it's all up to you
I know you've been runnin' all over town, honey
But what should I do?
Love can run hot, love can turn cold
Break your heart in two or so I've been told
Yes I know, oh baby, I want you to hear what I say
Yes I am
Your live is vicious, slightly malicious
Coiled like a snake in your heart
Man is a hard one, cold as a handgun
Like I was at the start
But I keep lettin' love get the better of me
My head is spinnin', honey
Can't you see what I need
Oh baby, I want you to hear what I say
I'm a fool for you love
Oh baby, I want you to hear what I say
I'm a fool for your love
I'm a fool for your love

Hey Mama, say what you wanna
Addressing a woman, asking her to speak her mind
Tell me it's all up to you

But what should I do?
Asking for guidance in the relationship
Love can run hot, love can turn cold

Break your heart in two or so I've been told
Acknowledging the pain that love can cause
Yes I know, oh baby, I want you to hear what I say

I'm a fool for your love

But I keep lettin' love get the better of me

Oh baby, I want you to hear what I say

I'm a fool for your love
Reiterating the willingness to endure hardships for love
