Burning Ships

To think that I once called you friend
The changes that you put me through
And now it seems a change of plan
Is all that I could do for you
Though your thoughts are on the ebbing tide
And you'll whisper at another stranger's side
Remember I'm the one who brought you your lady
Leave your burning ships to die

Maybe you'll wonder in your time
And see the flame of mighty land
The treasures of a thousand kings
Lay buried in the drifting sand
But you will go on your way
Out of sight with nothing to say
Remember I'm the one who brought you your lady
Leave your burning ships to die
