Lirik Lagu Epitaph – King Crimson

 

[Verse]

     Em            D

The wall on which the prophets wrote Am B

Is cracking at the seams. Em D

Upon the instruments of death

Am B

The sunlight brightly gleams.

Em D

When every man is torn apart

Am B

With nightmares and with dreams, Em D

Will no one lay the laurel wreath

Am B

When silence drowns the screams.

 

[Chorus]

Em Bm

Confusion will be my epitaph. Em Bm

As I crawl a cracked and broken path Em Bm

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

But I fear tomorrow I’ll be crying C Bm

Yes I fear tomorrow I’ll be crying C B

Yes I fear tomorrow I’ll be crying

 

[Verse] Em D

Between the iron gates of fate,

Am B

The seeds of time were sown, Em D

And watered by the deeds of those Am B

Who know and who are known;

Em D

Knowledge is a deadly friend Am B

If no one sets the rules. Em D

The fate of all mankind I see Am B

Is in the hands of fools.
