Testo di 'The Horror In Clay' di The Fall

MES: The most merciful thing in the world is man's
inability to correlate all of his mind's contents. But
the sciences one day, some say it is already upon us,
will eventually open up such terrifying vistas of
reality that we will either go mad from the revelation
or flee into blissful sleep, peace and safety of
another new dark age.

I'm Mark Edward Smith, these words are HP Lovecraft's.
We give you the horror in clay.
