Egypt (the Chains Are On) Lyrics - A Decade Of Dio: 1983-1993 - 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 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 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
