Egypt (The Chains Are On)

album: "The Last In Line" (1984)




 prev oOo home 

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
oh oh 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 yeah 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 low and magic but the chains were on
The chains were on oh the chains
were on yeah the chains were on
oh the chains were on

Yeah the chains were on I've seen them walking on the water
Yeah the chains were on I've seen them flying through the sky
My the chains were on they were frightening in the darkness
Yes the chains were on they had rainbows in their eyes
