1. Crimson flames tied through my ears, rollin' high and mighty traps
E C# As A B
Pounced with fire on flaming roads, using ideas as my maps

We'll meet on edges, soon said I, proud 'neath heated brow

R: Ah but I was so much older then
A B E
I'm younger than that now
2. Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth, rip down all hate I scream
Lies that life is black and white, spoke from my skull I dreamed
Romantic flanks of musketeers, foundation deep somehow
R: Ah but I was so much older...
3. In a soldier's stance I aimed my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy in the instant that I preach
My pathway led to confusion boats, mutiny from stern to bow
R: Ah but I was so much older... (2x)
4. Yes my guards stood hard when abstract threats too nobel to neglect
Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms quite clear, no doubt, somehow
R: Ah but I was so much older... (3x)
