『 香蕉勛的獨白 』

King Crimson

一個生於1960年末的英國前衛搖滾樂團

公認前衛搖滾最經典的樂團，前衛搖滾的特點是編曲有別於一般搖滾更為深沉難懂

所以大眾是比較不容易接受前衛搖滾的。

Epitaph(碑文)

這首歌出自King Crimson1969年的專輯"In The Court Of The Crimson King"(二十一世紀精神病患)

這張專輯是公認King Crimson最好的一張專輯，Epitaph這首歌是這張專輯裡我個人最愛的歌之一

Epitaph這首歌描述人生悲觀面

對未來的絕望。

歌詞(這次沒有翻譯但是應該蠻簡單的):

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.
