Steve Harris - Powerslave lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 d**h [Verse 2] 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] 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 d**h [Verse 3] 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 thousand ages But open the gates of my hell - I'll 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 d**h Slave to the Power of d**h... Slave to the Power of d**h...
