Powerslave Dickinson 706 Lyrics

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.

Shell of a man God preserved -- a thousand ages,

But open the gates of my Hell -- I will 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.
