IRON MAIDEN - Powerslave lyrics

rate me

(bruce dickinson)<br><br>Into the abyss I'll fall-the eye of horus<br>Into the eyes of the night-watching me go<br>Green is the cat's eye that glows-in this temple<br>Enter the risen osiris-risen again.<br><br>Chorus<br>Tell me why I had to be a powerslave<br>I don't wanna die, I'm a god, why can't I live on? <br>When the life giver dies, all around is laid to waste.<br>And in my last hour,<br>I'm a slave to the power of death.<br><br>When I was living this lie-fear was my game<br>People would worship and fall-drop to their knees<br>So bring me the blood and red wine for the one to succeed me<br>For he is a man and a god-and he will die too.<br><br>Chorus<br><br>Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins,<br>Silent the terror that reigned-maarbled in stone<br>Shell of a man God preserved-a thousand ages<br>But open the gates of my hell-i will strike from the grave.<br><br>Chorus
