Man on the Edge (live) 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

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

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

(3:06-Solo: Dave Murray)

(3:55-Solo: Adrian Smith)

(4:41-Solo: Dave Murray)

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

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

Slave to the Power of Death...

Slave to the Power of Death...
