POWERSLAVE
Sin duda estamos ante una de esas obras en las que es difícil escoger solo una canción, por eso yo ya he escogido varias para dejar en el blog. Aún más cercanos a la creación de la banda que otra cosa, estábamos con "Powerslave" sin embargo ante una obra en la que la banda había sacado ya cuatro discos de estudio (cinco con este), y el reconocimiento pasado ya empezaba a ser clamor. Además el grupo había pasado ya por muchas situaciones, con cambio de cantante incluido y Dickinson estaba a estas alturas completamente integrado y rayando a la altura de los mejores. Es sin duda este disco de 1984 uno de los hitos en la carrera de la banda y eso se tradujo en cero descartes, todos los temas impresionantes para un disco antológico que solo hizo mayor la leyenda de la banda. Hoy quiero dejar en el blog la canción que da nombre a la obra, "Powerslave", de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.
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
(Ahh) Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
(Ahh) I don’t wanna die, I’m a God... why can’t I live on?
(Ahh) When the Life Giver dies, all around is laid waste
(Ahh) 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
(Ahh) Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
(Ahh) I don’t wanna die, I’m a God... why can’t I live on?
(Ahh) When the Life Giver dies, all around is laid waste
(Ahh) And in my last hour, I’m a slave to the Power of Death
Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins
Silent the terror that reigned, marbled in stone
A shell of a man God preserved for a thousand ages
But open the gates of my Hell, I will strike from my grave
(Ahh) Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
(Ahh) I don’t wanna die, I’m a God... why can’t I live on?
(Ahh) When the Life Giver dies, all around is laid waste
(Ahh) 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...
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
(Ahh) Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
(Ahh) I don’t wanna die, I’m a God... why can’t I live on?
(Ahh) When the Life Giver dies, all around is laid waste
(Ahh) 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
(Ahh) Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
(Ahh) I don’t wanna die, I’m a God... why can’t I live on?
(Ahh) When the Life Giver dies, all around is laid waste
(Ahh) And in my last hour, I’m a slave to the Power of Death
Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins
Silent the terror that reigned, marbled in stone
A shell of a man God preserved for a thousand ages
But open the gates of my Hell, I will strike from my grave
(Ahh) Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
(Ahh) I don’t wanna die, I’m a God... why can’t I live on?
(Ahh) When the Life Giver dies, all around is laid waste
(Ahh) 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...
