Lyrics:

Crimson flames tied through my ears Rollin' high and mighty traps Countless fire on flaming roads Using ideas as my maps 'We'll meet on edges, 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 musketeers Foundationed deep, somehow. Ah, 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 that I'd become my enemy In the instant that I preach Sisters fled by confusion boats Mutiny from stern to bow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. (musical intermezzo) Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than then 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. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.
