Powerslave – Anaal Nathrakh (originally by Iron Maiden)
By
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 A Shell of a man God preserved – For thousand ages But open the gates of my hell – I’ll 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…
