Lyrics
The Triumph
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Back to the fairytale, back to the show
Backed to the wall and there's nowhere to go
Hopeless and desperate, all paths adverse
Things looking bleak and they're bound to get worse
Helpless and doomed and there's no way to win
Goals unachievable, faith running thin
Lost and forlorn, impossible odds
That's when you'll learn you've been messing with gods
Send in your Grimm, tear off my limb
Strike me with bolts of lightning
I won't die
The battle seems unwinnable
But all we need's a miracle
We're going up
We'll never be denied
Can't wish away the dismal days
Can't bring back what is gone
Won't waste more tears on yesteryears
Instead we'll carry on
We'll win for sure, we will endure
And though our goal is far
We'll be the ones to touch the sun
The triumph will be ours
Nowhere to run now, no time to grieve
No other choices, it's die or believe
Not backing down, we're standing at last
Beat and dejected are things of the past
This is the moment, this is the day
This is the place and we came here to slay
Yeah, I'm a girl, but I'm also a gun
Fast and I'm deadly, you'll never outrun
Strike down my friends, I'll never bend
Right to the end, I'm fighting
Glorified
And though it's unpredictable
We're heading for the pinnacle
We'll never stop
We're heading towards the sky
Can't wish away the dismal days
Can't bring back what is gone
Won't waste more tears on yesteryears
Instead we'll carry on
We'll win for sure, we will endure
And though our goal is far
We'll be the ones to touch the sun
The triumph will be ours
It's not destiny
It would be a grave mistake to think so
Every choice is ours and ours alone
This hasn't all been mapped by fate
This is the future we create
And we're powered by
Every tear that's dried
Can't wish away the dismal days
Can't bring back what is gone
Won't waste more tears on yesteryears
Instead we'll carry on
We'll win for sure, we will endure
And though our goal is far
We'll be the ones to touch the sun
The triumph will be ours
The triumph will be ours
