Powerslave

by Iron Maiden

Into the Abyss I'll fall - the eye of Horus
Into the eyes of the night - watching me go
Green is the cat's eye that glows - in this Temple
Enter the risen Osiris - risen again.

Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don't wanna die, I'm a God, why can't I live on?
When the Life Giver dies, all around is laid to waste.
And in my last hour, I'm a slave to the Power of Death.

When I was living this lie - Fear was my game
People would worship and fal l- drop to their knees.
So bring me the blood and red wine for the one to succeed me,
for he is a man and a God - and He will die too.

Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don't wanna die, I'm a God, why can't I live on?
When the Life Giver dies, all around is laid to waste.
And in my last hour, I'm a slave to the Power of Death.

Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins,
Silent the terror that reigned - marbled in stone.
A shell of a man God preserved - a thousand ages,
But open the gates of my Hell - I will strike from my grave.

Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don't wanna die, I'm a God, why can't I live on?
When the Life Giver dies, all around is laid waste.
And in my last hour, I'm a slave to the Power of Death,
Slave to the Power of Death...
Slave to the Power of Death...
