verses

   E       C#m         Abm
(1)crimson flames tied through my ears
(2)half wracked prejudice Leaped forth
(3)in a soldiers stance I aimed my hand
(4)yes my guard stood hard when abstract threats

        Asus2    Bsus4      E   Esus4
rolling high and mighty traps
rip down all hate screamed
at the mongrel dogs who teach
too noble to neglect

E         #m      Abm
countless fire on flaming roads
lies that life is black and white
fearing not that id become my enemy
deceived me into thinking

      A          B
using ideas as my maps
spoke from my skull i dreamed
in the instant that i preach
i had something to protect

     C#m            Abm
well meet on edges soon said i
romantic facts flanks of musketeers
my pathway led sisters fled by confusion boats
good and bad i define these terms

A                   B
proud beneath heated brow
foundationed deep somehow
mutiny from stern to bow
quite clear no doubt somehow

chorus
      E             A     E
ah but i was so much older then
    A      Bsus4     E(w/riff 1)
im younger than that now
