So, Robert Fripp and friends wrote their song as an answer from "Nights in White Satin" and there are similarity in every choruses on "Nights in White Satin", "Epitaph", and "Poor Man's Moody Blues" (coda on "Nights in White Satin" ended with a little bit of symphony, the poem "Late Lament", and later fade-out gong while coda on the latter like "Epitaph" and "Poor Man's Moody Blues" ended fade-out while the music still playing in upbeat tempo). "Epitaph" was also a sign of the born of progressive rock because it was born in underground territory.
