| | Achilles Last Stand Lyrics Artist(Band):Led Zeppelin
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 With all 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 trust 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 I fought the crowds, yeah To seek the man whose pointing hand, The giant step unfolds To guide us 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 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 and wanderings, What place to rest the search The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth Oh The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth From the earth... 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. om the earth.

Review about Achilles Last Stand Achilles Last Stand | Reviewer: Patricia | 10/18/09 Amazing epic! Plant calls it "the wheel chair piece", composed when he was recovering from the ankle injuries due to the car accident. Actually there are lots of speculations on the meaning of the lyrics, which incorporates Greek mythology and references from William Blake (Albion remains sleeping now to rise again...), but Plant once said only two people in the world know the real meaning of this song: Jimmy Page and himself... To me it´s pure poetry and pure joy, no matter what the meaning is! Ha! | Reviewer: tardwhisperer | 8/21/09 Those lyrics are not entirely accurate. It's not "Dancing I fought the crowds, yeah." It's "With dancing eyes we court the crowd, yeah." It's not entirely "I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way" either. Robert throws in "I'm gonna reign, gonna reign, gonna reign, gonna reign." I have the complete Presence that was published by Flames Of Albion, the same company that published the band's original music. Ha! | Reviewer: tardwhisperer | 8/21/09 The song title is NOT a joke regarding the tripping incident. The song title comes from the fact that Robert's car accident happened on the Greek island of Rhodes and his Achilles tendons were so damaged that he was told by physicians he might never walk again. The song is about doubt and hope. thank you | Reviewer: Daryl | 8/18/09 Thank heavens for the ability to search out song lyrics on sites like this. Back in '76, you had to guess what the lyrics were, and when it came to this album, it was pretty easy to guess wrong! ;) falling off a stool | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/18/09 When recording this song, Robert Plant fell off of the stool he was on, damaging the leg that he hurt in a car accident. He said that Jimmy picked him up and carried him to the car. Robert remarked how difficult that might have been because he is quite a bit bigger than Jimmy. The song title is a joke in reference to the incident. Mythology in this song | Reviewer: Todd Cox | 7/14/09 This song is definently about mythology as Atlas is the titan who was cursed by Zeus to hold Ouranos (the sky) above his head at the edge of Gaia (the earth) Hence the line "the mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens from the earth". The first section of the song could be about Achilles but it's hard to tell. Reasons for the Title | Reviewer: Shane Matthews | 5/9/09 This song could have two meanings: One being Plant's car accident which messed up his Achilles heel. Two: Page was a fan of mythology, and sought out the song as a reference to Achilles, the greatest warrior in Greek mythology. XD | Reviewer: sabsabsab | 4/26/09 this song is amazing! i love the part when he goes " i know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way" thats one of my favorite arts of any song! its amazing! this song rocks! Robert Plants voice in this song is like a different instrument! Title Meaning | Reviewer: Javier | 3/31/09 You guys all have good opinion about the origin of the song but in fact it had less of a metaphorical meaning than you think. This song was composed in a period in during which Robert Plant was recovering from a foot injury he sustained from a car accident He particularly injured his Achilles tendon, thus the name "Achilles Last Stand" refers to him believing that he will never recover. Amazing Song! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/3/09 This is one of the best Led Zeppelin songs. And this song most likely reminds you of Heart's "Barracuda" because John Paul Jones (Bass and Keyboard) worked with Heart on some songs. He is actually one of the most talented, yet under-praised, musicians ever.
