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
