Powerslave Lyrics by Iron Maiden

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.

    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
