You had to dig hard
s
To find the cult of arteries
s
Astride the great gulf sea
s
Across Dresden kitchen
s
Chimney’s afire, chimney’s afire
s
The vast deep’s surface shines
s
With gore and spermaceti
s
An outlook certain
s
Oh, vanity!
s
You are a cutting vessel
s
Racing with whispered furies
s
On hellhounds’ broken backs
s
Chimney’s afire, chimney’s afire
s
The vast deep’s surface slips
s
With gore and spermaceti
s
An outlook certain
s
Draw in the line
s
Don’t let it twist or tangle
s
Bring the beast clear and close
s
And let your lance drive true
s
Chimney’s afire, chimney’s afire
s
The vast deep’s blah-blah-blah
s
Gore and spermaceti
s
On that which could not be forgiven
s
