Powerslave

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
