Powerslave
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 to 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 to 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 
Maarbled in stone 
Shell of a man God preserved 
A thousand ages 
But open the gates of my hell 
I will 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 to waste 
And in my last hour, 
I'm a slave to the power of death
