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
When silence drowns the screams?

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 I'll be crying
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying

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
If no one sets the rules
The fate of all mankind, I see
Is in the hands of fools

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
When silence drowns the screams?

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 I'll be crying
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Crying
Crying
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Crying

I Believe in Father Christmas

A Christmas tradition.

Merry Christmas from Ted Tocks Covers!

“I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave new year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there’ll be snow at Christmas
They said there’ll be peace on earth
Hallelujah noel be it heaven or hell
The Christmas you get you deserve”

Ted Tocks Covers · I Believe in Father Christmas – Merry Christmas from #TedTocksCovers. #MusicisLife #GregLake #PeterSinfield #SergeiProfokiev #U2Merry Christmas to all of my Facebook friends! Today I feature my favourite Christmas song. The version I share is by no means the original, but it is so remarkable in its presentation I have share…

Tiens, Peter Sinfield est décédé. Sa carrière a suivi une trajectoire assez dingue quand même, y a pas beaucoup de gens qui ont travaillé à la fois avec Robert Fripp et avec Céline Dion je pense.

Et puis, quelle évolution :

"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" (1969)

"I'm gonna make love to you, on love beach
Make all your dreams come true, on love beach" (1977)

Each afternoon you train baboons to sing
Or swim in purple perspex water wings
Come Saturday jump chopper, Chelsea brigade
Hard bender-trender
It's all indoor games

- "Indoor Games" #KingCrimson

Vale #PeterSinfield. I'm absolutely certain that without the surreal, obscure, obtuse, odd & very endearing lyrics in the early Crimso albums, I wouldn't have become the massive enthusiast that I became. Pete's surrealism & humour were, like Daevid's in #Gong, what elevated the bands from the prog trap of being self-important & beard-scatchingly serious. You can be sure I'll be playing Lizard at high volume later on today. Here's to you, Pete!

La importancia de las letras en las bandas de rock progresivo era tal que algunos grupos tenían encargada esa función para una persona en particular por fuera de la banda. Es el caso, por ejemplo, de #PeterSinfield, nacido un día como el de hoy pero de 1943, quien le ponía palabras a muchas de las composiciones de la primera etapa de King Crimson y también lo supo hacer con Emerson Lake and Palmer. Más tarde se volcaría al pop llegando a escribir para artistas como Celine Dion. Según él mismo cuenta, fue una canción de Donovan de mediados de los 60´, Colors, la que lo decidió a escribir canciones.
