[F]
[Dm] Crimson flames [F] tied through my ears, [Bb] rolling high in [F] mighty traps.
[Dm] Pulse with fire on [F] flaming roads, [Bb] using ideas [C] as my maps.
[Dm] We'll meet on edges [F] soon, said I, [Bb] proud Neath heated [F] brow.
[Dm] Oh, but I was so [F] much older then, [Bb] I'm younger [C]
than [F] that now.
[Dm] Half-wracked prejudice [Am] leaps forth, [Bb] rip down all hate I [F] screamed.
[Dm] Lies that life is [Am] black and white, [Bb] spoke from my skull [C] I dreamed.
[Dm] Romantic facts [F] of musketeers, [Bb] foundation deep [C]
somehow.
[Dm] Oh, but I was so [Am] much older then, [Bb] I'm younger [C] than that [F]
now.
[Dm] Girls' faces formed the [F] forward path from [Bb] phony jealousy.
[F]
[Dm] To [F] memorizing politics [Bb] of ancient [C] history.
Flung [Dm] down by corpse [F] evangelists, [Bb] unfollowed
[C] somehow.
[Dm] Oh, but I was so [Am] much older then, [Bb] I'm younger [C]
[F] than that now.
[Dm] They self -ordained [F] professors, tongue [Bb] too serious to [F] fool.
[Dm] Spouted out that [Am] liberty is [Bb] just equality in [C] school.
[Dm] Inquality, I [F] spoke their word [Bb] as if a wedding [F] vow.
[Dm] Oh, but I was so [F] much older then, [Bb] I'm younger [F]
than that now.
[Dm] In a soldier's stance, [F] I ate my hand, [Bb] and the mongrel drove [F] to teach.
[Dm] Fearing that I'd become [F] my enemy, [Bb] in the instant that I [C] preached.
[Dm] My existence split by [F] confusion, bloat, [Bb] meaning from stern [C] to bow.
[Dm] Oh, but I was so [Am] much older then, [Bb] I'm younger [C]
than [F] that now.
Yes, [Dm] my God, with their heart [Am] and abstract prayers, [Bb] do not hold to [F] neglect.
[Dm] Deeply re-into [Am] thinking, I [Bb] had something to [C] protect.
[Dm] Good and bad, [F] I could find these terms [Bb] quite clear, no doubt, [C] somehow.
[Dm] Oh, but I was so [Am] much older then, [Bb] I'm younger [C]
