Chimney's Afire (Mickensian Suicide) Lyrics
you had to dig hard
to find the cult of arteries
astride the great gulf sea,
across Dresden kitchen
chimney's afire
the vast deep's surface shines
with gore & spermaceti
an outlook certain
oh vanity!
you are a cutting vessel
racing with whispered furies
on hellhounds broken backs
chimney's afire
the vast deep's surface slips
with gore & 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
on that which could not be forgiven
to find the cult of arteries
astride the great gulf sea,
across Dresden kitchen
chimney's afire
the vast deep's surface shines
with gore & spermaceti
an outlook certain
oh vanity!
you are a cutting vessel
racing with whispered furies
on hellhounds broken backs
chimney's afire
the vast deep's surface slips
with gore & 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
on that which could not be forgiven

hated this one at first... now it's one of my favorites. it reminds me a little of women as lovers. the parenthetical title refers to sam mickens, who was a member of the band during the recording of this album.
