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.

Triumph Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The story's in my song
It sure seems like we've
Come a long, long way
We've been through so many changes
All along the way
Maybe that's the way
Today
Movin' on, movin' on
(Movin' on) everyday
(Movin' on) keep on movin'
Movin' on tommorow is another day
On and on and on
Our problems have dissappeared, vanished one by one
We've got to keep movin' until we're done
This band is on the loose, runnin' 'cross the land
So try to make the most of a one-night-stand
On and on and on: you've got to keep movin' on
On and on and on: we're movin' every day
You got to keep on movin'
The lyrics of Triumph's "Movin' On" touch on the idea of progress and perseverance. The singer acknowledges that they may not be sure of their direction, but they know that their story is in their song. The journey has been filled with changes and challenges, but they seem to have overcome them and have come a long way. The concept of moving on is emphasized in the chorus, where the lyrics encourage continued forward motion despite any obstacles encountered on the way. The song's powerful message is that change is inevitable, but it should not hold us back. We should keep pushing through and never give up until we achieve our goals.
The lyrics may also have a broader interpretation beyond the personal struggles of an individual. The song can represent the idea of social progress, with the "we" not just referring to the singer and their band, but to humanity as a whole. Triumph encourages listeners to keep moving forward despite the difficulties we face as a society, and to keep trying to make the most of our time on this earth.

I may be right or wrong
The accuracy of my beliefs is unclear.
The story's in my song
My song tells a tale of our experiences.
It sure seems like we've
It appears that we have
Come a long, long way
Made significant progress.
We've been through so many changes
We have experienced numerous alterations.
All along the way
Throughout the journey.
Maybe that's the way
Possibly that is how it was meant to be.
Maybe that's the reason we're here
Perhaps this is why we exist.
Today
At present
Movin' on, movin' on
Continuing to progress
(Movin' on) everyday
(That progression happens daily)
(Movin' on) keep on movin'
(To keep progressing)
Movin' on tommorow is another day
Tomorrow is a new opportunity to continue progressing.
On and on and on
Continuing indefinitely.
Our problems have dissappeared, vanished one by one
Our issues have slowly disappeared.
We've got to keep movin' until we're done
Continuing until our journey is over.
This band is on the loose, runnin' 'cross the land
The group is traveling freely across the country.
So try to make the most of a one-night-stand
Make the most of the brief moment in time.
On and on and on: you've got to keep movin' on
You must keep going continuously.
On and on and on: we're movin' every day
We are making progress every day.
You got to keep on movin'
You must continue progressing.
