egypt the chains are on

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

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 were on
That the chains were on

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 them flying through the sky
They were frightening in the darkness
They had rainbows in their eyes

[Solo]

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 were on
That the chains were on
That the chains were on
That the chains were on
Oh my, the chains were on

In the land of the lost horizon
Where the chains are on

In the land of milk and honey
Still the 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 were on
Oh, the chains were on
Yeah, the chains were on
Oh, the chains were on
Hey, the chains were on

Seen them walking on the water
And the chains were on
Seen them flying through the sky
But the chains were on
They were frightening in the darkness
Yes, the chains were on
They had rainbows in their eyes
And the chains were on
