Iron Maiden "Powerslave" lyrics

Translation to:eleshusr

Powerslave

Into the abyss I'll fall the eye of HorusInto the eyes of the night watching me goGreen is the cat's eye that glows in this templeEnter 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 wasteAnd in my last hour, I'm a slave to the power of death

When I was living this lie, fear was my gamePeople would worship and fall drop to their kneesSo bring me the blood and red wine for the one to succeed meFor 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 wasteAnd in my last hour, I'm a slave to the power of death

Now I am cold, but a ghost lives in my veinsSilent the terror that reigned marbled in stoneA shell of a man God preserved a thousand agesBut open the gates of my Hell and I'll 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 wasteAnd in my last hour, I'm a slave to the power of deathSlave to the power of deathSlave to the power of death
