Το Epitaph των King Crimson κυκλοφόρησε στο πρώτο άλμπουμ τους το 1969.
Η μουσική είναι των Ρόμπερτ Φριπ, Ίαν ΜακΝτόναλντ, Γκρεγκ Λέικ και Μάικλ Γκιλς και οι στίχοι του Πίτερ Σίνφιλντ.
Το κομμάτι κάνει έντονη χρήση κίμπορντς, ενώ οι στίχοι είναι δυστοπικοί.

The wall on which the prophets wroteIs cracking at the seamsUpon the instruments of deathThe sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apartWith nightmares and with dreamsWill no one lay the laurel wreathWhen silence drowns the screams
Confusion will be my epitaphAs I crawl a cracked and broken pathIf we make it we can all sit back and laughBut I fear tomorrow I’ll be cryingYes, I fear tomorrow I’ll be cryingYes, I fear tomorrow I’ll be crying
Between the iron gates of fateThe seeds of time were sownAnd watered by the deeds of thoseWho know and who are known
Knowledge is a deadly friendIf no one sets the rulesThe fate of all mankind I seeIs in the hands of fools
The wall on which the prophets wroteIs cracking at the seamsUpon the instruments of deathThe sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apartWith nightmares and with dreamsWill no one lay the laurel wreathWhen silence drowns the screams?
Confusion will be my epitaphAs I crawl a cracked and broken pathIf we make it we can all sit back and laughBut I fear tomorrow I’ll be cryingYes, I fear tomorrow I’ll be cryingYes, I fear tomorrow I’ll be crying
CryingCryingYes, I fear tomorrow I’ll be cryingYes, I fear tomorrow I’ll be cryingYes, I fear tomorrow I’ll be cryingCrying
