Lyrics
Egypt
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 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 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
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 are on
They were frightening in the darkness
Yes, the chains were on
They had rainbows in their eyes
