Crimson flames tide through my ears
Rollin high and mighty traps
Countless fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my map

We'll meet our ledgens soon said I
Proud neath heated brow

Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
Rip down all hate I screamed

Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull I dreamed

Romantic flanks of musktateers
Foundationed deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

In a soldiers stance I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach

Fearing not I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach

Distance fled by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow

Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

A guard stood hard with abstract threats
To nobel to neglect

Decieved me into thinking
I had something to protect

Good and bad I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
