Bijna vergeten band uit de hoogtijdagen van de psychedelische rock. De titel verwijst naar één van Lovecraft’s bekendste verhalen, al is het verband inhoudelijk nogal vaag. Doet er niet toe, het is een meesterlijk stukje psychedelica. Het intro is fameus.
All along there is love we need
All you are we have?
You have lost all sense of touch
In the dark without a crutch
You’ve arrived at the Mountains of Madness
Time has come, you’re standing all alone
Plastic god, listen to the drone
Synthesized electric sound
Trembling from underground
You’ve arrived at the Mountains of Madness
Don’t believe that it’s a game
Games like this, my friend, will make you go insane
Listen to the sounds, hear them all around
Listen to the sounds, hear them all around
Standing there
Eyes on fire
Standing there, wind blowing through your hair
Eyes on fire, colour everywhere
When you gaze into the sky
All alone with no disguise
You’ve survived at the Mountains of Madness
You’ve survived at the Mountains of Madness
