Songs Of Victory
Victory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Red alert got it tough on love
I was on the run been to hell and back
Hell and back

A god of sound got me victimised
I was standing there at the edge of time
At the edge of time
A one track mind
Don't tell no lies
Don't run and hide
No way tonight
This rebels ready mr. President
I'm running wild
Gonna break away

Songs of victory
'Cos we're standing like a rock
Songs of victory
In the temples of gold
Songs of victory baby
Watch the power strike the earth
Gonna rock the neighbours
So come on all aboard

Gonna be trouble
So you run away
You're a high dollar honey
It's always the same
Always the same

They say culture killed the native
Still you want more and more
You're never satisfied baby
No way

A salamander fire
Showed the hunter the way
The warning is let it rock on
I'm a wreck man babe
Don't count on me
I'm still waiting for those chacks in the mail

Songs of victory
'Cos we're standing like a rock
Songs of victory
In the temples of gold
Songs of victory baby
Watch the power strike the earth
Songs of victory
Are you ready to take the pace

This rebels ready mr. President
I'm running wild
Gonna break away

A one track mind
Don't tell no lies
Don't run and hide
No way tonight
This rebels ready mr. President
These rock 'n' roll kids
You know they always feel the fire

Songs of victory
'Cos we're standing like a rock
Songs of victory
In the temples of gold
Songs of victory baby
Watch the power strike the earth
Songs of victory
Are you gonna to take the pace

Songs of victory
In this rock o matic race
Songs of victory baby
We're standing like a rock
Songs of victory
Are you ready to turn it up




Gonna rock the neighbours
So come on all aboard

Overall Meaning

Victory's "Songs of Victory" is a song that talks about facing challenges, fighting against oppressors, and celebrating victories. The lyrics in the first verse express the challenges of love and the struggle of coming back from a difficult situation. Also, it speaks of being victimized by the god of sound, pointing to how people's lives are dependent on it. It gives the feeling of being on the edge, where the future is uncertain, but the person is ready to face it with a "one-track mind" that does not "tell no lies." The chorus of "Songs of Victory" is an anthem of triumph against all odds that emphasizes standing steadfast "like a rock" while celebrating one's power and success.


The second verse talks about the irony of how culture has a significant negative impact on the native people, but still, people keep wanting more of it, and they are never satisfied. It then uses the metaphor of a "salamander fire" that showed the hunter the way, which means that inspiration comes from unexpected sources. The verse concludes with the line "Don’t count on me, I'm still waiting for those checks in the mail," which suggests that even though the situation is difficult, the person is capable and willing to face it.

It was timely, I've been singing this song over and over today, I woke up being so weak! As I step would feel my feet shaking, didn't have energy, now it's a different story, now I see my victory, yeeeh! Whatever the enemy meant for evil, God turned it for good. He is an Amazing Father. I'm full of strength now. After four days of dizziness. Thank you God for your healing.
