Achilles Last Stand Songtext / Lyric

It was an April morning
When they told us we should go.
And as I turned 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 the steam and hiss,
The devil's in his hole.
Oh, to sail away,
to sandy lands and holidays.
Oh, to touch the dream,
Hides inside have 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 giants step unfolds.
With guidancefrom 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,
Bathed in eternal summer's glow.
It's 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.
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
I know the way, know the way, know the way,
know the way

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