(STEVE HARRIS/BRUCE DICKINSON: Lyrics; Jam: IRON MAIDEN . . .)

-- A song from the viewpoint of POWER.
-- A song from the viewpoint of HISTORY.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Into the abyss I 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 have to be a POWER-SLAVE;
I don't wanna die; I'm a god: Why can't I live on?!
When the LIFE-giver/bringer 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.

Now I am cold, but a ghost lives in my veins;
Silent: The terror that reigned--marble and stone.
The shell of a man got preserved--for a thousand ages;
But open the gates of my hell--I'll strike from the grave.
