Powerslave Lyrics

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.
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 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
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 the Life Giver dies, all around is laid to waste.
And in my last hour,
I'm a slave to the power of death.
GUITAR AND KEYBOARD SOLO

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 - For a thousand ages
But open the gates of my hell - I will strike from the grave.

CHORUS
