Powerslave Lyrics - Singles - Children Of Bodom

[Iron Maiden Cover] 

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 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 

Shell of a man God preserved-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.
