- Victory Lyrics / with translationsthe velveteen and oaken soothed the lonely child
the parents watched the escort take him while they stood outside
the priest was kind and gentle as he positioned his head
the pain was like brimstone, but the kid hardly bled
victory
instinct over intellect
victory
it erupts from deep inside
history
history is laughing at us
plotting its discovery
victory, victory
blame it on the victory
among the parade crowd there stands a decorated man
remembering how he helped to save this sacred land
his helpless enemy was wounded, both hands raised with hope
he killed him without second thought, with brute force and a rope
so many times, so many lives
test the other side
waiting to see what the maker has in mind
the unsuspecting commoners hum diligent each day
they wallow in their father's sins, as time passes away
the crimes are without motive but they ignore all restraint
the evil sits inside them torpid timing its escape
the parents watched the escort take him while they stood outside
the priest was kind and gentle as he positioned his head
the pain was like brimstone, but the kid hardly bled
victory
instinct over intellect
victory
it erupts from deep inside
history
history is laughing at us
plotting its discovery
victory, victory
blame it on the victory
among the parade crowd there stands a decorated man
remembering how he helped to save this sacred land
he killed him without second thought, with brute force and a rope
so many times, so many lives
test the other side
waiting to see what the maker has in mind
the unsuspecting commoners hum diligent each day
they wallow in their father's sins, as time passes away
the crimes are without motive but they ignore all restraint
the evil sits inside them torpid timing its escape

✔️
When we try to piece together the story behind the words, in 'Victory,' a track that tells a tale of instinct's power over intellect in a not so pleasant way, Bad Religion explores the very idea of victory this way. The song offers nothing but the darkest of scenarios where the dealings of power, bloodshed, and evil doings of the past are the factors that determine the fate of people and even nations, hence it raises the question of what victory really costs and the vicious cycle of violence it creates. The main themes in 'Victory' lyrics are empowerment, reflection, social commentary, angst, and inspiration. On the one hand, the song underlines the importance of the aftermath of violence, the nature of victory, and history's reflection, while on the other hand, it does so in the form of questions. In one of the instances, the lyrics address the darker side of human nature where one character is especially depicted as doing a killing without any remorse whatsoever. These and other similar elements can be viewed as a cause for the song being restricted to audience aged 13 and above only.
