IRON MAIDEN - Powerslave (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 the 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 Live 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 Live 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
Shell of man God preserved
A thousand ages
But open the gates of my hell
I will 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 Live 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...
