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 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 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 a man God preserved - for a thousand ages, But open the gates of my hell - I will strike from the grave. 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 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...
