   Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand   
      
      
   "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   
    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.
