E       C#         G#                        A        B      E    
Crimson flames tied through my ears, rollin' high and mighty traps
E         C#       G#                  A           B
Pounced with fire on flaming roads, using ideas as my maps
C#                      G#           A               B
We'll meet on edges, soon said I, proud 'neath heated brow

   Ah but I was so much older then
       A       B         E   
   I'm younger than that now

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

   Ah but I was so much older...

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
 
   Ah but I was so much older...

   Ah but I was so much older...

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

   Ah but I was so much older...x3
