DIO - Egypt (The Chains Are On)

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 were on That the chains were 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 them 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 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 Hey, the chains are on Oh the chains are on Yeah, the chains are on Oh the chains are on Hey, the chains are on You’ve seen them walking on the water Oh the chains are on You’ve seen flying through the sky My, the chains are on They were frightening in the darkness Yes, the chains are on They had rainbows in their eyes Hey, the chains are on Oh the chains are on Written by: Ronnie James Dio, Jimmy Bain, Vivian Patrick Campbell, Vincent Appice Album: The Last In Line Released: 1984
