DBmF#m
Crimson flames tied through my ears,
GAD
rollin' high and mighty traps
BmF#m
Countless fire on flaming roads,
GA
using ideas as my maps
BmF#m
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I,
GA
proud 'neath heated brow.
DGD
Ah, but I was so much older then,
GAD
I'm younger than that now.
DBmF#m
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth,
GAD
"rip down all hate," I screamed
BmF#m
Lies that life is black and white,
GA
spoke from my skull, I dreamed
BmF#m
Romantic facts of musketeers,
GA
foundationed deep, somehow.
DGD
Ah, but I was so much older then,
GAD
I'm younger than that now.
DBmF#m
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand,
GAD
at the mongrel dogs who teach
BmF#m
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy,
GA
in the instant that I preach
BmF#m
My pathway led by confusion boats,
GA
mutiny from stern to bow.
DGD
Ah, but I was so much older then,
GAD
I'm younger than that now.

DBmF#m
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats,
GAD
too noble to neglect
BmF#m
Deceived me into thinking,
GA
I had something to protect
DBmF#m
Good and bad, I define these terms,
GA
quite clear, no doubt, somehow?
DGD
Ah, but I was so much older then,
GAD
I'm younger than that now.
