[Verse]
A7                                       
Into the Abyss I'll fall the eye of Horus
A7                                       
Into the eyes of the night watching me go
                                          Am7    D7
Green is the cat's eye that glows in this Temple ■ 
A7                                
Enter the risen Osiris risen again

              Em                    
Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
                        Cmaj7   Em7          E7 E
I don't wanna die I'm a God why can't I live on ■
         E7              Em  Em7       E7         Em

■  And in my last hour I'm a slave to the Power of Death ■ 


[Verse]
D7 A7                                     D7  
■  When I was living this lie fear was my game
A7                                                D7
People would worship and fall drop to their knees ■ 
A7                                                             
■  So bring me the blood and red wine for the one to succeed me
D7 A7                                    A      
■  For he is a man and a God and He will die too

         D7       A7                                      D7
When the Life Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins ■ 
A7                C    A7                       D7
Silent the terror that reigned marbled in stone ■ 
  A7                                              
A shell of a man God preserved for a thousand ages
    A7                                                   
But open the gates of my Hell I will strike from my grave
