I Wish I Had a Madman
Too many days, at sea with a madman
They were hungry, they were longing for Spain
Where their wives, and children were waiting
And wondering if they'd return
500 men against an empire
Dreaming of glory and gold
And when their ships touched shore, they were all but empty
Hardly ready, for the battles that began
And they struggled under the weight of their armor
That did not stop the fever or cold
And one night, as they buried another dozen
They resolved that when the sun rose the next morn
They'd get back on those ships and go home
But the men woke, to find that the madman
Had burned their ships, and left no way home
As they watched, flames rose from the ocean
And the men knew, there was no going back
Oh the boats burned, sending smoke to the heavens
The men knew they had to go forward
No looking shoreward, forward to glory and Gold
And some days, Oh I wish I had a madman
When my doubts, make me think of turning back
He would burn, my ships while I was sleeping
And I'd wake to know, no other choice
I'd know that I had to go forward
No looking shoreward, forward to glory and gold
Oh I'd know I, had to go forward
No looking shoreward, forward to glory and Gold
Oh I'd know I, had to go forward
No looking shoreward, forward to glory and Gold
They were hungry, they were longing for Spain
Where their wives, and children were waiting
And wondering if they'd return
500 men against an empire
Dreaming of glory and gold
And when their ships touched shore, they were all but empty
Hardly ready, for the battles that began
And they struggled under the weight of their armor
That did not stop the fever or cold
And one night, as they buried another dozen
They resolved that when the sun rose the next morn
They'd get back on those ships and go home
But the men woke, to find that the madman
Had burned their ships, and left no way home
As they watched, flames rose from the ocean
And the men knew, there was no going back
Oh the boats burned, sending smoke to the heavens
The men knew they had to go forward
No looking shoreward, forward to glory and Gold
And some days, Oh I wish I had a madman
When my doubts, make me think of turning back
He would burn, my ships while I was sleeping
And I'd wake to know, no other choice
I'd know that I had to go forward
No looking shoreward, forward to glory and gold
Oh I'd know I, had to go forward
No looking shoreward, forward to glory and Gold
Oh I'd know I, had to go forward
No looking shoreward, forward to glory and Gold
