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.
