Am              C      Am            Am/Bb  Am     C     Am 
Into the Abyss I'll fall - the eye of Horus

Am              C      Am             Am/Bb  Am   C  Am 
Into the eyes of the night - watching me go

Am                      C      Am        
Green is the cat's eye that glows -

     Am/Bb  Am     C  Am  
In this Temple

Am           C       Am          Am/Bb  Am    C  Am    
Enter the risen Osiris - risen again.

Em             C      D    Em         A  
Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave

Em                          C 
I don't wanna die, I'm a God,

          D    Em         A 
Why can't I live on?

Em           
When the Life Giver dies,

C       D    Em            A  
All around is laid waste,

Em 
And in my last hour,

         C          D        Em        A  
I'm a Slave to the Power of Death.

Am               C       Am          Am/Bb  Am  C Am 
When I was living this lie - Fear was my Game

Am                    C      Am  
People would worship and fall -

Am          Am/Bb   Am    C  Am 
Drop to their knees.

Am               
So bring me the blood and

C       Am              Am/Bb  Am  C Am
Red wine for the one to succeed me,

Am                 C      Am 
For he is a man and a God -

Am          Am/Bb   Am         C   Am 
And He will die too.

Why can't I live on?

Em           
When the Life Giver dies,

All around is laid waste,

Em 
And in my last hour,

I'm a Slave to the Power of Death.

Am            C     Am          Am/Bb Am       C Am
Now I am cold but a ghost lives in    my veins,

Am                C    Am    
Silent the terror that reigned -

        Am/Bb Am
Marbled in    stone

  Am             C   Am
A Shell of a man God preserved -

        Am/Bb Am   C Am
For thousand  ages,

    Am                C  Am
But open the gates of my hell -

            Am/Bb    Am   C Am
I'll strike from the grave
