Gil Moore (born October 4, 1953 Toronto, Ontario, Canada) was the drummer and vocalist (sharing vocal duties with guitarist/vocalist Rik Emmett) of the Canadian power trio, Triumph. Before Gil was in Triumph he was in a band called Sherman & Peabody which also featured Buzz Shearman of Moxy and Greg Godovitz of Goddo.
He co-wrote and contributed lead vocals to a significant number of Triumph songs and also performed this function live. While Emmett's vocals and songwriting tended toward the more melodic side of Triumph, Moore's vocal and writing style was more blues/hard rock oriented.
Gil Moore is the owner of Ontario, Canada's biggest recording studio Metalworks Studios located in Mississauga. The studio has been around for over 30 years and has recorded acts such as Drake, Guns N' Roses, Aerosmith, Katy Perry, Black Eyed Peas, Jonas Brothers and many more. On October 3rd, 2002 Gil Moore was presented with the Business and the Arts Award from the Mississauga Board of Trade in recognition of ‘Outstanding Contribution to the Arts Community of Mississauga’.
Want to
We can if we want to
Lead you from behind you
Time will takes it's toll re-evaluate
The leeches and the lepers start to salivate
Truth is impaired cannot moderate
Tension escalates you cannot tolerate
Make you want to fly
Blind is the ambition that will navigate
Default by design the virus infiltrates
Corrupted and coerced the silence penetrates
Echoing the void now disintegrate
If you feel sometimes we're falling
Like we're falling away
I would not blame you
While you flow through my veins
Well we pay the price we pay
Kill tomorrow yesterday
Want to
We can if we want to
Leave it all behind it's time to walk away
A predator has a tendency to stalk their prey
With the dawning of the sun awakes another day
Desire that's required to play another game
Make you want to fly
Blame will point it's finger shed some light on fault
Around these memories we will build our wall
Install instant karma start restoring all
Focus on the rise and ignore the fall
If you feel sometimes we're falling
Like we're falling away
I would not blame you
While you flow through my veins
Well we pay the price we pay
Kill tomorrow yesterday
Want to
We can if we want to
Lead you from behind you
Make you want to fly
Time will takes it's toll re-evaluate
The leeches and the lepers start to salivate
Truth is impaired cannot moderate
Tension escalates you cannot tolerate
We can if we want to
Blind is the ambition that will navigate
Default by design the virus infiltrates
Corrupted and coerced the silence penetrates
