Slip Stream

A captive in the ravines of the streams of

unconsciousness

The maze of illusion where dreams of light and darkness

lie abreast

Imprinted in eternity echoing hopes of timelss years

I live tales of first love imprisoned in a circle of

fears

Oh River God can you rid me from this dragon's kiss?

Measure for measure I do not deserve the sting of this

pleasure

Oh River God can I hide behind the veils of my fate?

My pound of flesh is no reward for my deceitful

treasure

Her whirlwind words, ride on crescent waves

Her lips of ice, shine like silver pale gold

Beyond my reach, she slips like a salmon's leap

She rhymes in lies, I have dealt my dice

chorus 1:

Life is just like a slipstream,

You know just what I mean,

Life is just like a slipstream,

Open your eyes far beyond your dreams

The stone cold face fades like molten wax

A new born light speaks the heat of delight

This is my gift, a worthy prize

I have hunted the horned hunter's disguise.

chorus 2:

Life is just like a slipstream,

With stories that gleam,

You all know their dark secrets,

Just reach and they can be seen.
