Powerslave Lyrics
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 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 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
Shell of a man God preserved-a thousand ages

But open the gates of my hell-I will strike from the 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
