Artist: Iron Maiden Album: Live After Death
Lyrics
(Bruce 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 this 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 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 Shell of a man god preserved-a thousand ages But open the gates of my hell-i will strike from the grave
Chorus
