Iron Maiden – Powerslave Lyrics  Share

From Iron Maiden's album: Powerslave

[Dickinson]

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.

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:]
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
- for a thousand ages,
But open the gates of my hell
- I will strike from the grave.

[Chorus:]
[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.
Slave to the Power of Death...
Slave to the Power of Death...
