Crimson Flames Tied Through My Ears
Throwin' High And Mighty Traps
Countless Fire And Flaming Road
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
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 Hand
At The Mongrel Dogs Who Teach
Fearing Not I'd Become My Enemy
In The Instant That I Preach
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

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.
