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 to 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 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 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
