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 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
