King Crimson – The Court of the Crimson King Lyrics 13 years ago
Thanks, Karl,
As an old rocker who has sang this song on stage a few times...
It always evoked an analogy or multiple double entendre of ...
'The fire in a man's blood as he journeys through the stages of his life'
and that's the way I always sang it and it worked.
The Court = The Body, The Crimson King = The Blood is the ruler of life itself.
Interesting posts as to meanings.
Sorry, to those of you wishing to demonize my generation but we were quite a bit deeper than that ... even when we were all getting stoned together or suffering witches to live :)
Looking forward to hearing the 'real' story.
