Megadeth Achilles Last Stand Lyrics

Achilles Last Stand Lyrics

Achilles Last Stand 
(Page/Plant) 

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

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 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 never seen.


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 

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, bathed in eternal summers 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
& 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 (X2) 

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