«In the Court of the Crimson King» (с англ. — «При дворе Малинового Короля») — дебютный альбом британской группы King Crimson, выпущенный в 1969 году.Lyrics:The rusted chains of prison moonsAre shattered by the sun.I walk a road, horizons changeThe 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 keysPut shutters on the dreams.I wait outside the pilgrim's doorWith insufficient schemes.The black queen chantsthe funeral march,The cracked brass bells will ring;To summon back the fire witchTo the court of the crimson king.The gardener plants an evergreenWhilst trampling on a flower.I chase the wind of a prism shipTo taste the sweet and sour.The pattern juggler lifts his hand;The orchestra begin.As slowly turns the grinding wheelIn the court of the crimson king.On soft gray mornings widows cryThe wise men share a joke;I run to grasp divining signsTo satisfy the hoax.The yellow jester does not playBut gentle pulls the stringsAnd smiles as the puppets danceIn the court of the crimson king.Written by Greg Lake, Ian Mcdonald, Michael Rex Giles, Peter John Sinfield, Robert Fripp • Copyright © Universal Music Publishing Group
