Life's a strain, painful thing
To be overcome
We mark the nights by our triumphs
Suffers everyone
But hold them near
Keep them dear
Don't be ashamed
Triumphs of the world
On heaven's pearls
On heaven's pearls
Began the scars, tangled bars
Catch under the skin
Friction burns as they turn
Working deeper in
And day by day
Sharp edges fade
Smooth, furnished and fine
Triumphs of the world
On heaven's pearls
Triumphs of the world
On heaven's pearls
On heaven's pearls
Triumphs of the world
On heaven's pearls
Triumphs of the world
On heaven's pearls
The triumphs of the world
On heaven's pearls
