Pounced with fire on flaming roads using ideas as my maps

Lies that life is black and white spoke from my skull, I dreamed 
   C#m             G#m            A                B7 
Romantic flanks of musketeers foundation deep, somehow.

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach 
                       C#m      G#m           A             B7 
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy in the instant that I preach 
       C#m           G#m         A                   B7 
Sisters fled by confusion boats mutiny from stern to bow.

E               C#m      G#m                   A    B7    E 
My guard stood hard when abstract threats too noble to neglect 
            C#m    G#m            A             B7

Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.
