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
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
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
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 a thousand ages
But open the gates of my hell
I'll 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 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
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
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
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
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 a thousand ages
But open the gates of my hell
I'll 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 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
