	"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age." ~ Howard Phillips Lovecraft

	Story Behind the Song Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's short story DAGON (written in 1917). In the story a shipwrecked captain, during WW2 era, finds himself in some (then) unexplored region of the Pacific on some undiscovered mass of volcanic rock. He finds himself wandering and as days pass he sleeps less and less and his dreams become more troubled until he cannot sleep at all. He finds a chasm and within that chasm is an ancient cyclopean monolith adorned with carvings of various sea animals as well as creatures that science has not yet encountered. At this moment beneath the faint glow of moonlight the great fish God DAGON rises from the stygian deeps to the monolith driving the captain utterly mad. Upon making his way back to civility... he carries with him artifacts of the God to resurrect the deep ones. There, my friends, in the tradition of the greatest horror writer ever, begins my forthcoming 3rd release... Poisoned Dreams. Lyrics none... but it feels like I'm being chewed on when I listen to this track.
