Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin´ high and mighty traps
countless fire and flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We´ll meet on ledges, soon," said I

Proud ´neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I´m younger then than 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 facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I´m younger then than 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 preached
My existance led by confusion boats

Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I´m younger then than now.

Yes, 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 then than now.
