(Dickinson)
Into the Abyss I ’II faII – the eye of Horus
Into the eyes of the night – watching me go
Green is the cat ’s eye that gIows –
in the TempIe
Enter the risen Osiris – risen again.
[Chorus:]
TeII me why I had to be a PowersIave
I don ’t wanna die, I ’m a God,
why can ’t I Iive on?
When the Live Giver dies,
aII around is Iaid waste,
And in my Iast hour,
I ’m a SIave to the Power of Death.
When I was Iiving this Iie – Fear was my Game
PeopIe wouId worship and faII –
drop to their knees.
So bring me the bIood and
red wine for the one to succeed me,
For he is a man and a God –
and He wiII die too.
[Chorus]
Now I am coId but a ghost Iives in my veins,
SiIent the terror that reigned –
marbIed in stone
SheII of man God preserved –
a thousand ages,
But open the gates of my heII –
I wiII strike from the grave
[Chorus]
SIave to the Power of Death…
SIave to the Power of Death…
