    way down market mysticism combined with puerility: its really really bad bad verse. This is "Achilles' Last Stand"

    ....
    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

    etc etc etc.
