From Charles Hayward’s liner notes to the 2016 vinyl reissue of Deceit:
The lyrics are at a microscopic level, a brief instant, someone looking through net curtains at another walking up the front path. Seen and not seen. Basic power structure.
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Through dirty net curtains
You look at me
Why is it I can't see through to you?
The mesh, it is in your favour (Under my steady gaze)
How will you move (Frozen mid-step)
When the angles are reversed? (You cannot move)
[Outro]
Triumph of the will (triumph of the will)
Triumph of the will (triumph of the will)
Triumph was written by Charles Bullen & Gareth Williams & Charles Hayward.
Triumph was produced by David Cunningham.
