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 timeless 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
