Song lyrics

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.

[Chorus:]
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.

[Chorus:]

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 - for a thousand ages.
But open the gates of my hell, I will strike from the grave.

[Chorus]
