E        C#m          G#m
Crimson flames tied through my ears,
         A        B       E
rollin' high and mighty traps
 E            C#m      G#m
Pounced with fire on flaming roads,
      A            B
using ideas as my maps
C#m                   G#m
We'll meet on edges, soon said I,
  A                   B
proud 'neath heated brow

Chorus:
	  E             A       E
   Ah but I was so much older then
	 A       B        E
   I'm younger than that now

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

Chorus.

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

Chorus - x2

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

Chorus - x3
