Chimney's Afire (Mickensian Suicide)

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

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

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

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

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

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