King Crimson - Epitaph lyrics

The wall on which the prophets wrote<br />

Is cracking at the seams<br />

Upon the instruments of death<br />

The sunlight brightly gleams<br />

<br />

When every man is torn apart<br />

With nightmares and with dreams<br />

Will no one lay the laurel wreath<br />

When silence drowns the screams?<br />

<br />

Confusion will be my epitaph<br />

As I crawl a cracked and broken path<br />

If we make it we can all sit back and laugh<br />

But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying<br />

Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying<br />

<br />

Between the iron gates of fate<br />

The seeds of time were sown<br />

And watered by the deeds of those<br />

Who know and who are known<br />

<br />

Knowledge is a deadly friend<br />

When no one sets the rules<br />

The fate of all mankind I see<br />

Is in the hands of fools<br />

<br />

Confusion will be my epitaph<br />

As I crawl a cracked and broken path<br />

If we make it we can all sit back and laugh<br />

But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying<br />

Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying<br /><br />
