Lyrics
The Slippery Slope
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You’ll drink from the grail of passion if your heart feels dead
Temptation is the true revelation forget the rules you’ve read
It’s in the hands of father time to seal the wounds you’ve bled
But it’s the choice inside your mind to choose to live instead
Life is a lonely way
Born to dream and play
We have to seize the day and learn to stay
Are you turning your back on your broken will
Restore the power cause there’s fire still
Never close your eyes on the roads of hope… oh no
Speeding fast away from the hangman’s rope
Life is a slippery slope
It’s been so hard to cope
You’ll eat from the golden table
Howling with the wolves you’re with
Once you were a child so innocent
Till someone broke your head
At the feast with the beast and all the lies
Dark roads wait up ahead
Then comes another new sensation
A revolution for the led
All the games we hate to play
But still we turn and stay
Got to go all the way
Let’s burn another day
Are you turning your back on your broken will
Restore the power cause there’s fire still
Never close your eyes on the roads of hope… no
Speeding fast away from the hangman’s rope
Life is a slippery slope
Don’t turn your back on your broken will
We can grow desire there’s fire still
Hey.. have you closed your eyes to the roads of hope?
Time to cut loose from the noose of the hangman
The hangman’s rope
Keep swinging the hammer to break the ice
Break out of the coldness that makes you sacrifice
A new beginning under the sun
Life has just begun
