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.

[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 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.

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Slave to the Power of Death…

Slave to the Power of Death…
