ACHILLES LAST STAND

It was an April morning

When they told us we should go

An' as I turn to you, you smiled at me

How could they say no

Whoa, the fun to have

To live the dreams we always had

Whoa, the songs to sing

When we at last return again

Swept New York a glancing kiss

To those who claim they know

To know the shrieks the seaman hears

The devil is in his home

Oh, to sail away

To sandy lands and other days

Oh, to touch the dream

That hides inside and is never seen, yeah

Into the sun, the south the north

Flys the birds of gold

The shackles of commitments fell

In pieces on the ground

Oh, to ride the wind

To tread the air above the din

Whoa, to laugh aloud

Dancing as we fought the crowd, yeah

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

(Guitar Solo)

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

With 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

Whoaaaaaaaaaaa

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

Ohhhhh, ohhhhh

Ahhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh

Ahhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh

Ahhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh

Ahhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

Oh the mighty arms of Atlas

Hold the heavens from the earth

Ahhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh

Ahhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh

Ahhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh

Ahhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh

Ooooooooooohh
