Young knight, learn first - honor the code Then hold your blade and bear the load Vor und Nach - before, behind The font from which all true art springs With Stark und Schwach you'll rule the bind The word Indes - bear that in mind If you take fright you'll never learn The Zornhaw cut you have to earn Vom Tag - descend from on high Zornhaw meets them point to eye Vor und Nach, before, behind Indes - the moment, seize the find When from above they cut in near The wrath of masters makes it clear Cut, thrust - then Stark or Schwach you lay Indes confounds them where they stay The Ochs holds high, the Pflug holds low The Alber opens - lets them go Vom Tag stands ready, crown of war Four lairs - the corners of the score The Krumphaw breaks the guard apart The Zwerchhaw silences the art Schielhaw robs the buffalo blind The Scheitelhaw splits the crown in two - rewind No one defends without a cost Aim for exposure - that's the frost If steel meets steel - pull through, press more The wonders of the blade are war Eight turnings. Twenty-four. Count one by one. The Record was written for princes Hidden from everyone Vom Tag - descend from on high Zornhaw meets them point to eye Vor und Nach, before, behind Indes - the moment, seize the find When from above they cut in near The wrath of masters makes it clear Cut, thrust - Stark or Schwach you lay Indes. Confounds them. Where they stay.
