The 11th isn't about a fight, or a long journey, its about enduring and cunning.

Beyond the edge of the world, lies a garden of gold guarded by a dragon that never sleeps. But the greatest challenge isn't the beast, it's the weight that holds the heavens themselves.

"HOLD THE SKY" is a dark fantasy bard song retelling the 11th labor of Hercules.

Lyrics written by me:
[Intro]
You have crossed the edge of the world.
Now bring me fruit that does not belong to men.
Golden apples guarded beyond the reach of kings…
and mortal hands alike.

[Verse 1]
Beyond the dunes where daylight bends
Beyond the seas where the old world ends
No road remained, no map was true
Only the westward winds that blew

Through ruined shrines and titan bones
Through lands abandoned and unknown
A whispered name still crossed the sky
The garden where the gold fruit grew

[Chorus 1]
HOLD THE SKY
BENEATH THE STARS ABOVE
HOLD THE SKY
BENEATH THE WEIGHT OF GODS

TAKE THE FRUIT
WHERE GOLDEN BRANCHES BURN
CROSS THE WORLD
WHERE NONE OF MEN RETURN

[Verse 2]
At last beyond the crimson haze
He saw the orchard wrapped in flame
Golden leaves in endless glow
Where silent streams refused to flow

Around the trunk the great beast lay
A sleepless terror crowned in scales
A thousand eyes beneath the tree
Watching through eternity

[Chorus 2]
HOLD THE SKY
BENEATH THE STARS ABOVE
HOLD THE SKY
BENEATH THE WEIGHT OF GODS

TOUCH THE FRUIT
AND WAKE THE ANCIENT ONE
HOLD THE SKY
TILL THE DEED IS DONE

[Verse 3]
Then through the mountain mist he came
The ancient bearer wrapped in chain
Upon his back the heavens turned
With endless stars that slowly burned

No throne remained, no kingdom stood
Only the burden where the titan strode
And in his gaze the ages passed
Like fading echoes lost to ash

[Chorus 3]
HOLD THE SKY
BENEATH THE STARS ABOVE
HOLD THE SKY
BENEATH THE WEIGHT OF GODS

TAKE THE FRUIT
AND PLACE THE HEAVENS HERE
HOLD THE SKY
WHILE THE TITAN DISAPPEARS

[Verse 4]
The heavens crashed on mortal bone
A crushing weight no flesh should know
The mountains groaned, the oceans bent
The stars themselves dragged through the black

No sword could strike, no hand could save
Only the strength to bear the weight
While far beyond the burning grove
The titan walked where none could go

[Chorus 4]
HOLD THE SKY
BENEATH THE STARS ABOVE
HOLD THE SKY
BENEATH THE WEIGHT OF GODS

DO NOT BREAK
THOUGH HEAVEN SPLITS APART
HOLD THE SKY
WITH THE WORLD UPON YOUR HEART

[Verse 5]
The titan returned with golden fruit
And spoke no wish to bear again
“The heavens rest far better there.
The weight belongs to mortal hands.”

But quiet thought behind tired eyes
Still watched the shifting of the skies
“One moment more,” the hero said
“To brace the burden on my head.”

[Chorus 5]
TAKE THE FRUIT
AND LEAVE THE TITAN THERE
HOLD THE SKY
THEN WALK BEYOND HIS SIGHT

[Bridge]
No beast was slain.
No kingdom burned.
Only the heavens…
and the man beneath them.

[Final Chorus]
HOLD THE SKY
BENEATH THE STARS ABOVE
HOLD THE SKY
BENEATH THE WEIGHT OF GODS

TAKE THE FRUIT
THOUGH NONE WERE MEANT TO TOUCH
HOLD THE SKY
AND PRAY IT IS ENOUGH

HOLD THE SKY
TILL THE STARS GROW DIM
HOLD THE SKY
AT THE EDGE OF HEAVEN’S RIM

HOLD THE SKY
TILL THE TITAN CALLS NO MORE
THEN WALK AWAY
WITH THE GOLDEN FRUIT OF GODS

[Outro]
Atlas didn't move for a thousand years.
The hero didn't look back once.
The apples were gold...
but they felt like lead in his hands.
