(Cover 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 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
