Iron Maiden - Powerslave lyrics

(bruce dickinson) 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 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
