Powerslave - Live In San Jose 26/2/08 - Iron Maiden

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...
