Achilles Last Stand lyrics

It was an April morning

When they told us we should go

And as I turn to you, you smiled at me

How could we say no?

Oh, the fun to have

To live the dreams we always had

Oh, the songs to sing

When we at last return again

Slipping 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 is never seen, yeah

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, yeah

To seek the man whose pointing hand

The giant step unfolds

To guide us from the curving path

That turns our feet to stone

If one bell should ring

In celebration for a king

So fast the heart should beat

As proud the head, with heavy feet, yeah

Days went by when you and I

Bathed in eternal summer's 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 and wandering

What place to rest the search

The mighty arms of Atlas

Hold the heavens from the earth

For the mighty arms of Atlas

Hold the heavens from the earth

From the earth, earth

I know the way, know the way

Know the way, know the way

I know the way, know the way

Know the way, know the way

For the mighty arms of Atlas

Hold the heavens from the earth
