“Epitaph” is the third track on King Crimson’s October 1969 debut album, In the Court of the Crimson King. Noted for its heavy use of mellotron and Greg Lake’s emotional vocals, the lyrics were written by the band’s primary lyricist, Peter Sinfield, with additional contributions from Lake. Sinfield spoke of the song in a 2019 interview:
‘Epitaph’ was a poem that I’d written when I had my own band. It started with the words, and then it was very much a piece of ensemble writing. Ian McDonald would come up with an idea, then someone else. I think Greg came up with the idea: ‘But I fear tomorrow I’ll be crying’, which is very Greg-ish.
1969. Graduated High School. King Crimson amount my favorites.
The subtitle for this track is listed as “Including ‘March for No Reason’ and ‘Tomorrow and Tomorrow,’” though it’s not indicated which part is which. It’s likely that these subtitles were invented as a way of earning more royalties, suggested to the band by their management.
The word epitaph has Greek origins and is a combination of the words “epi” (meaning “on”) and “taphos” (which means tomb). The translation regards something that is inscribed on a tombstone. Epitaphs are placed on tombs to honor the deceased person buried inside. Though sometimes chosen by a person other than the deceased, it is generally seen as representative of their final thoughts or a description of their life.
One of the SONGS to be play on my funeral. Soon....
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Wow
The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Викинг видел сон Кинг кримзон победил
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
I was 1 years old... But its so cool for that era... Until now...Thanks youtube...
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams
Extraordinario sonido,y músicos me llega al alma está canción ya voy casi por 73,ya nada será igual acordaros generaciones vendieras al fracaso y las guerras
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams?
Kiedyś na koloni przy tym była zabawa🎸
[Chorus]
Confusion will be my epitaph
Very nice thank you ❤❤❤😊
As I crawl, a cracked and broken path
If we make it, we can all sit back and laugh
мне под 70 впервые услышал Эпитафию в конце 80х для меня это было весьма неожиданно в общем на тот момент ни на что не похоже ну может что то от The Who я и сейчас испытываю ностальгию по тем временам Эх время увы все прошло ....
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
2026년 year 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 listening
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
[Verse 2]
It's that,... Requiem
Between the iron gates of fate
The seeds of time were sown
2026/16/HAZİRAN.. TÜRKİYE, DENİZLİ, ÇAMELİ, BIÇAKÇI KÖYÜ, NDEN SELAMLAR AHMET KÖMÜRCÜOĞLU.. ❤❤
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
My best
Since 1970
Knowledge is a deadly friend
If no one sets the rules
이 노래를 몇십년째 듣고있다.. 노래가 주는 느낌은 처음 그때처럼 변함 없고 젊은이에서 늙은이 로 변한 나만 변한채로 오늘도 듣고있다..
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools

Vom ersten Moment an hab ich es in mein Herz gelassen.. Es wird es niemals wieder verlassen.. Sonst würde ein Teil von mit Sterben.. Vom ersten Moment an liebte ich diese wundervolle Gewissheit und diese Macht.. Leben und Sterben in einem Atemzug.. What a great Rise & Expiriense..🖤🎶🖤🎶🖤🎶🖤
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying

this is not the actual recording from the first King Crimson album. someone replaced Fripp's guitar with a lesser rendition? Lake's phrasing has been altered. There are other discrepancies.

@carlosmariorestrepovelez7000The incredible voice of greg lake lyrics of peter sinfield
@carlosmariorestrepovelez7000좌파는 남 잘되는 것을 못봅니다.
질투가 심하죠.
그렇다고 노력하지도 않습니다.
노려과 경쟁을 싫어하죠.
남이 노력해 얻을것을 나누는 것이 정의라고 생각합니다.
Brilliant song. They were so far ahead of their time, I think.
