Egypt
Dio

In the land of the lost horizon

Where the queen lies dark and cold

And when the stars won't shine, then the story's told yeah

When the world was milk and honey

And the magic was strong and true

Then the strange ones came and the people knew

That the chains are on

That the chains are on

My, my, my in the land of no tomorrow

Where you pray just to end each day

And your life just slowly melts away

Each day you hear the sand as it moves and whispers

Come and sail on my golden sea

Maybe one day you'll be just like me and that's free

But still your chains are on

Yes your chains are on

Still your chains are on

You've seen them walking on the water

You've seen flying through the sky

They were frightening in the darkness

They had rainbows in their eyes

When the world was milk and honey

And the magic was strong and true

The the strange ones came and the people knew

Yeah that the chains are on

(That the chains are on)

That the chains are on in the land of the lost horizon

Where the chains are on

In the land of world was milk and honey

Still your chains are on

Where the queen lies dark and lonely

Still the chains are on

And the world was new and magic

But the chains are on, and the chains are on

Oh the chains are on

Yeah the chains are on, oh the chains are on

And the chains are on, see them walking on the water

And the chains are on, see them flying through the sky

They we're frightening in the darkness (yes chains are on)

They had rainbows in their eyes (the chains are on)
