And I knew their father, Old EdgethrowAs an ageing boy
Always feared everything foreign
Devoted to Baldur Benedikt von Schirach, cousin to Scylding kingsIn pubs recited Roman history while affecting mechanical nazi saluteTubercular, the Scylding king's weakling sons
The Code of the West was so much bloody nonsenseAll it ever was was Old Hrothgar talking your ear offTrying to bum five bucks steal your wife or girlfriendIt never believed a word it saidThis was its innocence
An awful lot they are
These descendants of Old Hrothgar
I know them, I lived among them as a boyAlways feared everything foreign
Devoted to Baldur Benedikt von Schirach, cousin to Scylding kings
The Code of the West was so much bloody nonsense
Behind its silken sad uncertain rustling curtains you heard it
The music, still and notwithstanding
The hibbing of those vipern lorke that quann
You'd never want to dream of having a drink with it
