King Crimson - Epitaph (Including "March For No Reason" and "Tomorrow And Tomorrow")

EPITAPH
including MARCH FOR NO REASON and TOMORROW AND TOMORROW
(Fripp, Lake, McDonald, Giles, Sinfield)


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
As silence drowns the screams.


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
When no-one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.


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.

274 LAYLA : Can't believe that the man of this beautiful voice has been lost... Miss Greg. R.I.P.
Bruce Anderson : I worked with Greg Lake during the ELP tour of 1986. One of the kindest people I've ever known. When you spoke to him he genuinely listened. I miss you Greg. Thank you for your kindness and inspiration.
rulyhyperion82 : This song didn't predict the future. Its lyrics are timeless. They were true when this song was written, they are true now, and they always have been and will be true.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel : "The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools. "
Hits harder than a direct punch in the liver.
hya_cinth : It’s weird how I only found out King Crimson existed after watching Jojo. This song, in particular, is very meaningful. I’m absolutely stunned to hear how-well composed the actual band’s songs are.
I have two things to say.
Thank you, Hirohiko Araki for introducing me to such great bands like these,
And thank you, King Crimson, especially those long gone, for giving me such good songs to listen to.

TheTarkus10 : The rush I got at the ELP concert when Greg slipped this in at the end of Tarkus. Amazing! ELP's "Welcome Back My Freiends to the Show That Never Ends" live album contains this version of Tarkus. And like one person here already said - it is chilling that it applies so aptly to these dayz. God help us all. He won't, of course, but it doesn't hurt to ask...
Waldemar Chrzanowski : Piekna ballada, Spiewam se nieraz te piosenke, zwlaszcza poczatek jest boski. Dzis juz nie takich piosenek, tamte lata to zlota epoka ktora chyba juz nigdy sie nie powtorzy, dzis to sztuka nie piosenka, tamta epoka to Skarb - pelny wielu pieknych piosenek !
Paweł Jan : Słucham od 43 lat . Kiedyś myślałem, żeby zagrać to na moim pogrzebie . Ale by było.
Anthimosho Tango : Μπράβο!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dragan Zarkov : Nešto najbolje što sam u životu čuo i ovo je fantastična pesma puna emocije.Svaka čast!

ㅁㄴㅇㄹ : 킹크림슨의 in the wake of poseidon를 우연히 듣고 좋아서 킹 크림슨의 여러 노래 듣고 있는데 번역된 가사가 이 곡 editaph 한곡 밖에 찾아 볼수가 없는게 아쉽네요 워낙 오래되어선지..
이을터 : 무거웁게 그리고 강렬하게 다가오며
언제 들어도 초연해지는 명곡.
mymind59 : 한...45여년전 처음 들었을때부터 아무 뜻도 모르는 상태에서 굉장히 무겁고 어려운? 곡이란것을 느끼고 들었지만 당시에는 가사 혹은 뜻을 알수없는 상태에서 듣기만 하다가 요즘들어 대략적인 가사내용을 인터넷으로 알다가 정확한 내용과 뜻을 알게되서 좋습니다.
가사 내용과 뜻을 지금이나마 제대로 알고 들으니 (지금도 난해 하지만)더욱 가슴에 닿는군요.
ys c : 80년대 무지하게 좋아했던곡
잘 들었습니다.
지금 현재 이 시대를 살아가고 있는
사람들의 심금을 울리는듯~
음악감상춘추 : ^^
