about

'''Beware an Ancient Door' is a hostile dialogue between a defensive Prince Andrew and someone questioning his actions. The second portion of the song is a diatribe by Prince Andrew about all who sit below him and judge from the comfort of their armchairs.
Ultimately the song is about the immoveable forces of power, and how people in power use their positions to justify behaving differently to everyone else. Prince Andrew is an easy target but he is the current poster boy for the nonce class and however trite the subject may appear at first glance, it seems to me that there’s a ripeness to the topic. A nonce is a nonce is a nonce.” Harry Jones.

lyrics

Beware an Ancient Door

I won’t be condemned
By these frenzied awful hoards
So I looked him in the eyes and asked
“Is it hell you’re walking towards?”
How dare you judge me
With your narrow minded views
I said “but Andrew
It’s not your place to abuse”
And in a cowards shaking tone
He wished for my demise
So I looked him in the eyes
And I said “likewise”
He said “we all have
our needs and our wants”
I said “but Andrew
A nonce is a nonce is a nonce...”
I’m mystified by this circus
I thought I’d seen it all
Why’d they think that they can hurt us
We run the ground on which they crawl
There’s a structure in place that they
Should accept and be grateful for
Enable us to live our way
It’s not worth knocking at that ancient door
What’s really wrong with how I love?
You made these boundaries for yourselves
We keep our tabs from up above
It’s not our world in which to delve
