Bruce Dickinson - 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 d**h 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 d**h 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 the grave [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 waste And in my last hour I'm a slave to the Power of d**h Slave to the Power of d**h... Slave to the Power of d**h...
