Iron Maiden Powerslave

AlphabetLyrics.com

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 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 -
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

[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 death.
Slave to the power of death...
Slave to the power of death...
