I love Triumph. Especially Rik Emmett. I didnt get into this song until much later, after the band was broke up and such. I must admit, while Im usually pretty good with finding song meanings, this one has me a little stumped. My immediate thought is it is about death. Going into the light. Then we get to the lyric about the crowd, and then the lines about the pretense world show and the profits come and go and I wonder if this isnt the first of many songs Rik Emmett wrote as the truth about the music business and greed, etc. Such as Just A Game. I really dont have the answer. I will say Im glad I revisited it because its a great song. Showing Triumphs inner prog!
