[00:08.63] Crimson flames tied through my years
[00:12.02] Rollin' high and mighty trapped
[00:16.85] Countless violent flaming roads
[00:19.89] Using ideas as my map
[00:24.01] "We'll meet on edges soon," said I“
[00:28.14] Proud 'neath heated brow
[00:31.40] Ahh, but I was so much older then
[00:35.36] I'm younger than that now
[00:41.76] Half wracked prejudice leaped forth
[00:45.43] "Rip down all hate," I screamed“
[00:49.54] Lies that life is black and white
[00:53.31] Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
[00:57.18] Romantic flanks of musketeers
[01:01.02] Foundation deep, somehow
[01:04.49] Ahh, but I was so much older then
[01:08.60] I'm younger than that now
[01:14.70] In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
[01:18.63] At the mongrel dogs who teach
[01:22.52] Fearing not I'd become my enemy
[01:26.31] In the instant that I preach
[01:31.46] Sisters fled by confusion boats
[01:34.89] Mutiny from stern to bow
[01:38.40] Ahh, but I was so much older then
[01:42.12] I'm younger than that now
[02:11.82] Ahh, but I was so much older then
[02:15.63] I'm younger than that now
[02:22.08] My guard stood hard when abstract threats
[02:25.81] Too noble to neglect
[02:29.79] Deceived me into thinking
[02:33.38] I had something to protect
[02:37.74] Good and bad, I define these terms
[02:41.31] Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
[02:44.85] Ahh, but I was so much older then
[02:48.98] I'm younger than that now
[00:08.63] Crimson flames tied through my years
[00:12.02] Rollin' high and mighty trapped
[00:16.85] Countless violent flaming roads
[00:19.89] Using ideas as my map
