Powerslave Lyrics

Cover art for Powerslave lyrics by Iron Maiden

It's clear that the song it's all about the disapointment of the pharoh (or any other person that shares the same ideas with an ancient egyptian ruler) regarding his own death. cause the pharoh was viewed as a god, the sun of amon-ra, if i am not mistaking, therefor immortal, it's logical he was very dissapointed when the time of his death was to come. i suppose when you are used holding so much power, especially from an young age, it may seem just wrong for you to die. and the idea of the song lingers on til this very day, cause many pepople still think they are too good to die. in the end, we all die, we are all powerslaves... get used to that!
