Achilles Last Stand it was an april morning when they told us we should go 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 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 - that 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 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 ... i know the way...
