Powerslave [Life After Death]

[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 Death

[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 Death

[Instrumental break/bridge]

[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 a 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 Death

[Outro]

Slave to the Power of Death...

Slave to the Power of Death...
