Iron Maiden – Powerslave

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 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.

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...
