CURIOSIDADES: Osiris é o deus egípcio da fertilidade e representa os reis mortos. O faraó ao morrer passava a fazer parte de Osiris e o filho do faraó passava a ser Horus, deus do céu, até morrer também. Osiris representa o deus morto que vive novamente não pela ressurreição, mas através de seu descendente na terra. O personagem da letra trata-se aparentemente de um faraó que não aceita morrer visto ser um Deus
LETRA:
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 to 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.
Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins
Silent the terror that reigned - maarbled in stone
Shell of a man God preserved - a thousand ages
But open the gates of my hell
I will strike from the grave
