Lyrics Iron Maiden – 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

Chorus:
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.

Chorus:

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 thousand ages,
But open the gates of my hell —
I’ll strike from the grave

Chorus:
Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
