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 Scream for me, Trieste! Scream for me, Traie! [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 Come on! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! [Verse 2] When I was [yearning?] a man, 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 God And He will die too Scream for me, Triste! Scream for me, Traie! [Chorus] Tell me why I had to be a [Powerslave/Powerflay?] I don't wanna die, I'm a god Why can't I live on? When [a/the?] Life Giver dies All around is laid waste And in my last hour I'm a Slave to the Power of Death Ehy! [Instrumental break/bridge] Ey! Ehh-Triest! Come on! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! [Verse 3] Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins Silent a terror that reigned Marbled in stone A shell of a man, god preserves - For a thousand ages But open the gates of my hell I'll strike from a gray Scream for me, Trieste! Italia! Scream for me, Italia! [Chorus] Tell me why I had to be a Powerslay 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 Slay to the Power of Death [Outro] Slay to the Power of Death... Slay to the Power of Death...
