墓志铭
大约十年前，当我第一次听到《In the Court of Crimson King》的时候，我就决定要在我葬礼（如果有的话）播放《Epitaph》这首歌。
十年之后，再一次拿出这张专辑。在《二十一世纪精神病患者》的狂躁、《我与风交谈》的迷幻、《月亮孩子》的恬美和《在克里姆逊王的宫殿里》的庄严之间，仍旧是《墓志铭》那悲天悯人的痛苦。音乐背后，命运桎梏的锁链在缓缓拖动；但西西弗斯致死也不屈服：困惑，将是我的墓志铭。

King Crimson: Epitaph
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
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 Ill be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow Ill be crying.
克里姆逊王：墓志铭
写满预言的墙壁
正沿着缝隙开裂
在死亡的乐器上方
阳光倏然闪现
当人们在梦魇与梦想中疏离
当沉默吞噬了呐喊
没有人会戴上胜利的花冠
时间的种子已经播下
在命运的铁门中间
又由那些知者和被知者
的功业所浇灌
无人定下规矩
知识便成为致命的伙伴
我看见人类的命运
却由一群愚人掌管
困惑，将是我的墓志铭
当我匍匐在一条支离破碎的小径
假如我们能够抵达彼岸
我们将可安心
开怀大笑
可是我害怕明天我将哭泣
是的我害怕明天我将哭泣
