The Fall - THE HORROR IN CLAY

The Fall - THE HORROR IN CLAY

Album:

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.

MES: (Better get) Penzance Bay gazette heading dated 1969. Comfortable leafy suburb, green, lilac German type houses, a lot of dark green, ominous, pale thin youth (pretentious), walks up to hesitatingly to the front of a house with a package.
