King Crimson is a progressive rock group from London, England, United Kingdom formed in 1968 by guitarist Robert Fripp and drummer Michael Giles. Though originally an all-British musical group, later members have included a number of Americans, most notably Adrian Belew, and Tony Levin. The name "King Crimson" was coined by Peter Sinfield as a synonym for Beelzebub, prince of demons.

The keeper of the city keys puts shutters on the dreams.
Em D Cb5 B
I wait outside the pilgrim’s door, with insufficient schemes.
Am E7/G# F#m7b5 B
The black queen chants the funeral march; the cracked brass bells will ring;
Em D Cb5 D
To summon back the fire witch to the court of the crimson king.

Em D Cb5 B
The gardener plants an evergreen whilst trampling on a flower.
Em D Cb5 B
I chase the wind of a prism ship to taste the sweet and sour.
Am E7/G# F#m7b5 B
The pattern juggler lifts his hand; the orchestra begin.
Em D Cb5 D
As slowly turns the grinding wheel in the court of the crimson king.
[Verse 4]
Em D Cb5 B
On soft grey mornings widows cry, the wise men share a joke;
Em D Cb5 B
I run to grasp divining signs to satisfy the hoax.
Am E7/G# F#m7b5 B
The yellow jester does not play, but gentle pulls the strings
Em D Cb5 D
And smiles as the puppets dance in the court of the crimson king.
