ECrimson C♯flames tiedG♯ through my ears, rollin' Ahigh and Bmighty Etraps

EPounced wiC♯th fire oG♯n flaming roads, usiAng ideas as Bmy maps

C♯We'll meet on edges, sooG♯n said I, proAud 'neath heatedB brow

Ah but I Ewas so much olAder thEen

I'm yoAunger thBan that noEw

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...

Ah but I was so much older...

Ah but I was so much older...
