Lyrics

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 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- Marbled in stone. A shell of a man God preserved- For a thousand ages, But open the gates of my Hell- I will strike from my 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 Death, Slave to the Power of Death... Slave to the Power of Death...
