Triumph of Man (from album "Insect Manifestation")

Triumph of Man” is about humanity rising from near extinction after being hunted and nearly destroyed by a dominant insect-like civilization. At the beginning, humans are portrayed as weak and hiding in tunnels, surviving in fear while a powerful non-human force controls the world. As the song continues, there is a shift where humanity unites and fights back, turning desperation into strength and using the chaos of the world to fuel their resistance. The insect-like rulers, shown as queens and massive hive-like cities, are eventually overthrown or weakened as humans adapt and reclaim their world. Overall, the song’s meaning is about survival, unity, and humanity’s transformation from victims into a determined force that reclaims its place on a ruined Earth.
Lyrics:
[Intro]
[guitar solo over galloping riff]

[Verse 1]
Ash on the sun-bleached highway
Carapace towers
Broken and burned
We were the hunted
Hiding in tunnels
Counting our losses
Waiting our turn

Then came the dawn in siren red
Steel in our hearts
Fire in our hands
Marching as one through acid rain
Drawing our lines
Taking back land

[Chorus]
Triumph of Man
Raise your voice
Raise your banner
From the ruins we ran
Now we stand
Ever after
Chitin and fang
Fall to dust in our laughter
Triumph of Man
Triumph of Man (hey!)

[Post-Chorus]
We were the last spark
Now we’re the wildfire
We were the shadows
Now we’re the sky

[Instrumental]
[moderately long guitar solo over full band]

[Verse 2]
Queens on their bone-white thrones
Eyes like embers
Wings like knives
We built our cannons out of their corpses
Turned their venom into our drive

Cities of web and amber
Cracked under steel and storm
We carved a path through clicking darkness
Human and fragile
Furious
Reborn

[Chorus]
Triumph of Man
Raise your voice
Raise your banner
From the ruins we ran
Now we stand
Ever after
Chitin and fang
Fall to dust in our laughter
Triumph of Man
Triumph of Man (woah-oh)

[Bridge]
Remember the sirens
The tunnels
The hunger
Remember the names we carved in the stone
For every lost hand
Every fallen brother
We swore this world would be our own

[Chorus]
Triumph of Man
Raise your voice
Raise your banner
From the ruins we ran
Now we stand
Ever after
Chitin and fang
Fall to dust in our laughter
Triumph of Man
Triumph of Man

[Outro]
[memorable guitar–keyboard dual solo over driving drums]
(oh-oh, triumph of man)
[last unison stab
Ringing out]
