Chimney’s Afire (Mickensian Suicide) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You had to dig hard
To find the cult of arteries
Astride the great gulf sea
Across Dresden kitchen

[Chorus]
Chimney's afire, chimney's afire
The vast deep's surface shines
With gore and spermaceti
An outlook certain

[Verse 2]
Oh, vanity!
You are a cutting vessel
Racing with whispered furies
On hellhounds' broken backs

[Chorus]
Chimney's afire, chimney's afire
The vast deep's surface slips
With gore and spermaceti
An outlook certain

[Bridge]
Draw in the line
Don't let it twist or tangle
Bring the beast clear and close
And let your lance drive true

[Chorus]
Chimney's afire, chimney's afire
The vast deep's blah-blah-blah
Gore and spermaceti
On that which could not be forgiven
