Powerslave

(bruce dickinson)



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.



Chorus

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 fall-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.



Chorus



Now i am cold but a ghost lives in  my veins,

Silent the terror that reigned-maarbled in stone

Shell of a man god preserved-a thousand ages

But open the gates of my hell-i will strike from the grave.



Chorus
