Asgaroth Epitaph Lyrics

Epitaph Lyrics

[Written by King Crimson in 1969]







The wall on which the prophets wrote



Is cracking at the seams.



Upon the instruments if 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.
