Epitaph Lyrics - Live At The Marquee, 1969 - King Crimson

The wall on which the prophets wrote 

Is cracking at the seams. 

Upon the instruments of death 

The sunlight brightly gleams. 

When every man is torn apart 

With nightmares and with dreams, 

Will no one lay the laurel wreath 

When silence drowns the screams. 

Confusion will be my epitaph. 

As I crawl a cracked and broken path 

If we make it we can all sit back and laugh. 

But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying, 

Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.

Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying 

Between the iron gates of fate 

The seeds of time were sown 

And watered by the deeds of those 

Who know and who are known. 

Knowledge is a deadly friend 

If no one sets the rules. 

The fate of all mankind I see 

Is in the hands of fools. 

The wall on which the prophets wrote 

Is cracking at the seams. 

Upon the instruments of death 

The sunlight brightly gleams. 

When every man is torn apart 

With nightmares and with dreams, 

Will no one lay the laurel wreath 

When silence drowns the screams.

Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying 

Crying. 

Crying... 

Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying 

Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying 

Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
