King Crimson - The Court of the Crimson King

King Crimson - The Court of the Crimson King
Disco: In the Court of the Crimson King (1969)

The rusted chains of prison moons
are shattered by the sun.
i walk a road, horizons change
the tournament's begun.
the purple piper plays his tune,
the choir softly sing;
three lullabies in an ancient tongue,
for the court of the crimson king.
The keeper of the city keys
puts shutters on the dreams.
i wait outside the pilgrim's door
with insufficient schemes.
the black queen chants the funeral march,
the cracked brass bells will ring;
to summon back the fire witch
to the court of the crimson king.
The gardener plants an evergreen
whilst trampling on a flower.
i chase the wind of a prism ship
to taste the sweet and sour.
the pattern juggler lifts his hand;
the orchestra begin;
as slowly turns the grinding wheel
in the court of the crimson king.
On soft grey mornings widows cry,
the wise men share a joke.
i run to grasp divining signs
to satisfy the hoax.
the yellow jester does not play
but gently pulls the strings
and smiles as the puppets dance
in the court of the crimson king.

Yeah sorry I was in a dick mood man. The Mars Volta is a phenomenal band, and I really respect what they're doing.

[crayZtaco7]

@username91ification thats not true at all. they are equally talented if not more talented man

[Harlequin1103]

Who was the one person to dislike this ??? They must have been expecting some death metal or something to react negatively to this . This band is sooo visonary it makes me want more and more .

@Emporerofkortoph ALL the ones Watabou89 said plus Rush. And check out some of the newer prog bands; The Mars Volta, Tool, Dream Theater, Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Tesseract, Protest the Hero...DEFINITELY check out the Mars Volta; they're an amazing band (I may be biased as they're my favourite but Day of the Baphomets and L'via L'viaquez may change your life) and they're very influenced by King Crimson.
