"Powerslave" lyrics
"Powerslave"
(originally by Iron Maiden)
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
A Shell of a man God preserved -
For thousand ages
But open the gates of my hell -
I'll 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
Slave to the Power of Death...
Slave to the Power of Death...
