Lyrics
Crimson flames tied through my years
Rolling high and mighty drafts
I pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges soon," said I
Proudly, heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Half-wracked prejudicedly before
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic flights of musketeers
Foundation deep somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hands
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preached
My pathway led 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
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
That I had something to protect
"Good" and "bad," I defined these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
