The emperors bloodline lasted for just a century
when ships full of warriors and equine landed on the shores in B.C.
their chief and commander Alexander at the helm
looked at his army and said boys I didnt come here to fail
So burn the ships, burn the ships were here to stay
burn the ships, there is no other way
people will follow like little lost sheep long after our annihilation
burn the ships I said, were forging a new nation
She looked at the shackles hanging from her pure bred mother
she saw what shed always oppose for herself and all her daughters
Elizabeth Cady and her army of suffragettes
set sail for equality and once on shore she proudly suggests
Burn the ships, burn the ships were here to stay
burn the ships, there is no other way
History will honor the strides that we made long after were in our graves
burn the ships I said, go ahead and free the flood gates
Watching time go by in this 9 to 5
Hungry for the heat, trying just to keep the dream alive
Baby, one fine day Im gonna make that leap of faith
and sing the words I long to say
Burn the ships, burn the ships were here to stay
Burn the ships, there is no other way
If you have something to fall back on you well may
So, burn the ships, I said, and throw a little fan on the flame
