Ancient Wisdom - Powerslave lyrics

[Iron Maiden Cover] 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 d**h 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 d**h 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-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 waste And in my last hour I'm a slave to the power of d**h
