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.

Woman In Love
Triumph Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leave me alone
An' she slammed the door right in my face
I know I was a little late but
I can't communicate
If romance is a race
So I knocked again
An' marched on in
Lovers can be cruel but I don't wanna.
Why must you act like a prima donna?
CHORUS:
She's a woman in love
She's a woman in love
This messin' around is bringing me down
With my woman in love
You say I'm crazy
No good and lazy
But you keep comin' back for more?
If you're after the money, then back off honey
I've been down that road before
So take it or leave it
But baby don't tease it
Your games are such a bore
I don't understand your philosophy
Why must our love be a tragedy?
CHORUS
I don't know which way to turn
Makin' me crazy try to understand
What it means to be a man
Although I seem cruel I'm tryin' the best I can
Sometimes you treat me so low-down dirty
Baby I think we should...
Sit down and talk it over
The lyrics of Triumph's "Woman in Love" tell the story of a man in a troubled relationship with a woman who he describes as being in love. The man is struggling to communicate with the woman, and she is cruel to him, but he remains committed to the relationship. He asserts his identity as a man and tries to empathize with the woman's perspective, but can't understand why their love has to be so tragic. The chorus repeats the phrase "she's a woman in love," perhaps implying that the woman is not in a sound state of mind when it comes to their relationship. The man is trying his best to understand and work through their issues, but is exhausted by the constant turmoil.
The song deals with the complexities of love and relationships, portraying the tension and frustration that can arise when two people don't see eye to eye. The man in the song is trying to make sense of his situation, and is struggling to balance his commitment to the woman with his own self-respect. He wants to make things work, but can't seem to get his partner on the same page. The song invites listeners to reflect on the challenges of romance and the ways in which we work through them.
Line by Line Meaning
Get outta here
Leave my presence
Leave me alone
Stop bothering me
An' she slammed the door right in my face
She forcefully closed the door without letting me explain
I know I was a little late but
I understand that I arrived later than I promised
I can't communicate
I have difficulty expressing my feelings
If romance is a race
If love is a competition
So I knocked again
I attempted to get her attention again
An' marched on in
Entered without being invited
Said Baby let me state my case.
Asked for the opportunity to explain my side of the story
Lovers can be cruel but I don't wanna.
Some people are mean in relationships but I don't intend to be
Why must you act like a prima donna?
Why do you behave like a spoiled or temperamental person?
She's a woman in love
She is a lady who is deeply and emotionally attached to me
This messin' around is bringing me down
This behavior of constantly arguing is making me upset
With my woman in love
Despite the issues, I am still with someone who loves me
You say I'm crazy
You think I am insane
No good and lazy
Not worthy and inactive
But you keep comin' back for more?
But you still show interest in me?
If you're after the money, then back off honey
If your motive is to get money from me, then please leave
I've been down that road before
I have previously experienced this situation
So take it or leave it
You have the choice to either accept me as I am or refuse me completely
But baby don't tease it
But don't play around with my feelings
Your games are such a bore
Your unethical practices are uninteresting
I don't understand your philosophy
I am finding it hard to comprehend your views
Why must our love be a tragedy?
Why does our love always lead to sadness or hardships?
I don't know which way to turn
I am confused and unsure of what to do next
Makin' me crazy try to understand
Your behavior is driving me insane but I am trying to make sense of it
What it means to be a man
Trying to figure out what it takes to be a real man
Although I seem cruel I'm tryin' the best I can
Even though I may appear to be unkind, I am doing everything I can
Sometimes you treat me so low-down dirty
At times, you mistreat me in a dishonorable way
Baby I think we should...
I believe we should...
Sit down and talk it over
Have a meaningful conversation to address our issues

I remember back in 81 when my best friends older brother told us to check out this new album he bought called Allied Forces,ever since that day I've been a Triumph fan
Brian Shaffner
Underrated song and album. Love the production on this album -- very close to the Triumph live sound. It'll always live in the shadow of the record that came next, but it remains one of my favorites.
Watch and Look Up!
Love it!
Vargas XR
