			     EPITAPH - 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.


(instrumental part)

                 
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


Repeat the chords of the chorus 'til the end.

Have fun!
