(Dickinson)

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 the Temple

Enter the risen Osiris - risen again.



[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 Live 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

Shell of man God preserved -

a thousand ages,

But open the gates of my hell -

I will strike from the grave



[Chorus]



Slave to the Power of Death...

Slave to the Power of Death...
