Chimney, Don’t You Think?

Cool down the fires

The blaze is out of control

There is only one way out of this mess

And through the chimney there is salvation

All of the hurry and bustle a person can make only stoke the flames

The fire is the breath of Niddhog, who gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil

Were we to slow down?

Would the world be better for us?

Of course it wouldn’t

Our destiny is misery

This horrible rock we live on is the home of forgotten gods

The only way out is through the chimney

But the house has fallen down around our ears

Now we must fend for ourselves as best we can

Waiting for a big explosion to go off and tear us away from our lives

But how can we leave our ramshackle existences without saying goodbye

A final farewell to the bitch of a mother that brought us screaming into this world

The Answer to our questions lie at the feet of a 1000-foot tall giant named Scorn

He waits at the end of the path to hear our pathetic excuses before he gobbles us up

Like some rip off from the children’s stories our mommy read us

There will be no beanstalk for us here, no fair maidens except Hatred

A cold wench who waits to eat our hearts from our breasts

She is at the end of another path

The path next to Shame

Just down the way from Regret

How many times must the long walk of life end at Pearly Gates?

St. Peter has gone into Heaven, locked the gates, and put up the No Vacancy sign

There is only one way to get to where there is safe ground

And through there the chimney there is sanctuary

But if the roof has fallen down

Where is the chimney?

IT’S A FUCKING METAPHOR!!!!!
