Achilles Last Stand Lyrics

It was an April morning when they told us we should go 

 As I turn to you, you smiled at me 

 How could we say no? 

 

 With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had 

 Oh, the songs to sing, when we at last return again 

 

 Sending off a glancing kiss, to those who claim they know 

 Below the streets that steam and hiss, 

 The devil's in his hole 

 

 Oh to sail away, To sandy lands and other days 

 Oh to touch the dream, Hides inside and never seen. 

 

 Into the sun the south the north, at last the birds have flown 

 The shackles of commitment fell, In pieces on the ground 

 

 Oh to ride the wind, To tread the air above the din 

 Oh to laugh aloud, Dancing as we fought the crowd 

 

 To seek the man whose pointing hand, The giant step unfolds 

 With guidance from the curving path, That churns up into stone 

 

 If one bell should ring, in celebration for a king 

 So fast the heart should beat, As proud the head with heavy feet. 

 

 Days went by when you and I, bathed in eternal summers glow 

 As far away and distant, Our mutual child did grow 

 

 Oh the sweet refrain, Soothes the soul and calms the pain 

 Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again 

 

 Wandering & wandering, What place to rest the search 

 The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth 

 

 The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth 

 From the earth... 

 

 I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way [X2]

 

 Oh the mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth.
