Egypt (The Chains Are On)

Egypt (The Chains Are On)

In the land of the lost horizon

Where the queen lies dark and cold

When the stars won't shine, then the story's told

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

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

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

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 aglow and magic

But, the chains are on
