Epitaph (song)
"Epitaph" is the third track from the British progressive rock band King Crimson's debut album, In the Court of the Crimson King.
The song makes heavy use of the mellotron, and as with the first track, "21st Century Schizoid Man", the song's lyrics have a distinctly dystopian feel to them.
The song's title was used as the name for a live album of recordings done by the original King Crimson, Epitaph.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer would later incorporate an excerpt from this song after the "Battlefield" portion of the live version of their song Tarkus, from the Tarkus album.

Famous quotes containing the word epitaph:
“And were an epitaph to be my story
I’d have a short one ready for my own.
I would have written of me on my stone:
I had a lover’s quarrel with the world.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
