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.
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.

I believe that it is a song basically about being a soldier in Ancient times (either Greek or Roman) and going off the conquer distant lands.
The lyrics: "Oh Albion remains sleeping now to rise again" is most probably a reference to both the poet William Blake poem The Dance of Albion and to the old British Empire (Albion is the poetic name for England). Whilst the lyrics "the mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens from the earth" is a direct reference to Greek mythology.
