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
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.

Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins,
Silent the terror that reigned-maarbled in stone
