Crimson flames tied through my years Rollin' high and mighty trapped Countless violent flaming roads Using ideas as my map "We'll meet on edges soon," said I Proud 'neath heated brow Ahh, 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 musketeers Foundation deep, somehow Ahh, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand At the mongrel dogs who teach Fearing not I'd become my enemy In the instant that I preach Sisters fled by confusion boats Mutiny from stern to bow Ahh, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now Ahh, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now My guard stood hard when abstract threats Too noble to neglect Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect Good and bad, I define these terms Quite clear, no doubt, somehow Ahh, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now
