Achilles Last Stand

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

Woa the songs to sing

When we at last return again



Sending off a glancing kiss

To those who claim they know

To know the streets the seaman hears

The devil is in his hole



Oh to sail away

To sandy lands and other days

Oh to touch the dream

Hides inside and never seen, yeah



Into the sun the south the north

Lies the first of hope

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, yeah



Days went by when you and I

Made an eternal summers glow

As far away and distant

Our mutual time to grow



Oh the sweet refrain

Soothes the soul and calms the pain

Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again



Wandering upon the rings

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

Ooooooooooooooh



I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way  (2x)



Ooh, ahh, etc...



Oh the mighty arms of Atlas

Hold the heavens from the earth

Oooh, ahh, etc...
