During its early years, Triumvirat initially played Top 40 songs at local venues in Cologne. The Nice and Emerson, Lake & Palmer heavily influenced Triumvirat’s musical direction and the band incorporated some of Nice/ELP music into their repertoire (Rondo among others).
In the early 1970s, the band sent a demo tape to EMI Records in Cologne and won their first record contract. Triumvirat subsequently produced modestly successful albums during the early to mid-1970s, including Mediterranean Tales (Across The Waters) and Illusions on a Double Dimple, and toured the United States with Fleetwood Mac to support Illusions on a Double Dimple, playing the album in its entirety. In 1975, Triumvirat reached the apex of their commercial success with the release of Spartacus.
The band underwent numerous personnel changes over the course of its life and eventually disbanded in 1980 with the release of their final album Russian Roulette.
Come With Me
Triumvirat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When your lover goes another way
I gave it up
Couldn't stand it for another day
I don't know what love is all about
I'm so confused
It's gonna take a little time
To get out of this state of mind
We're really rollin' now
Why don't ya come with me
Move on up don't let me down
Running around
Seems the kinda thing I need
The way I feel
A cut won't even let me bleed
I have seen what pain is all about
I won't be fooled
It's gonna take a little time
To get myself out of this state of mind
So come with me
We're really rollin' now
Come with me
Move on up don't let me down
Don't want to listen to that
Silly kind of small talk
I take the middle of the street
And leave the sidewalk now
I don't care anymore anyhow
Come with me...
Still I don't know what love is all about
I'm so confused
It's gonna take a little time
It's gonna take a little while alright
So come with me...
I've had enough of all those stupid conversations
I want the things I see in my imagination now
Now I don't care anymore anyhow
So come with me...
In Triumvirat's "Come With Me," the singer is expressing heartbreak and confusion after their lover leaves.

Ultimately, they invite someone to join them on their journey to self-discovery and healing.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of urgency conveyed through the repetition of certain lines and the lively rock sound. The desire to "move on up" and not be "let down" further emphasizes the need for change and progress. The lyrics also suggest a sense of disillusionment with traditional societal expectations and a desire to forge one's own path. The song ends on an optimistic note, with the singer feeling more confident and liberated.

Triumvirat - For You (1978) Lyrics: February 6, 2020
Words can't describe what I feel
When I'm alone with you at night
Words seem to fail
A single smile upon your face
Will make my day
Words don't explain what it means
To hold you in my arms again
Words, words cannot say
How I love to be with you
In every way
l fly if you will see me
I'm getting high on love and feeling
I take your hand
I hold your face
Your lips feel soft
Let's make it last for days
Higher 'than the eagle
We'll fly away with love and feeling
And I can't wait until you see me
See me again
There are times when we're apart
And when I think of you
I hold my pounding heart
And all l want to do
Is to be close you
And every time it's like a brand new start
Words don't explain what it means
To hold you in my arms again
Words, words cannot say
How I love to be with you
In every way
I fly if you will see me
I'm getting high on love and feeling
I take your hand
And hold your face
Your lips feel soft
Let's make it last for days
I fly if you will see me
I'm getting high on love and feeling
I take your hand
And hold your face
Your lips feel soft
Let's make it last for days
Higher that the eagle
We'll fly away with love and feeling
Yes I can wait until you see me Again...

Música fantástica, linda melodia e letra, algo que está escasso nos dias de hoje. Essa música é a favorita de meu pai, e eu peguei a paixão dele por essa obra prima. Sou grato a ele por me ensinar a admirar essa bela canção.

Me, the first time I heard this song. I thought I'm flying in the air only to realized that I'm sitting on my chair motionless, mesmerized by the beauty of the this song. Oh!, how classic the piano and other instruments.

Linda música... Melodia e letra... O que mais dói é que não se fazem mais músicas assim hoje em dia... Mas graças a Deus, existiram bandas como a Triumvirat...
