Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
When the world was milk and honey
And the magic was strong and true
Then the strange ones came
And the people knew
[Verse 3]
Oh, that the chains were on
That the chains were on
My, my, my
[Verse 4]
In the land of no tomorrows
Where you pray just to end each day
And your life just slowly melts away
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
But still your chains are on
Yes, your chains are on
Still your chains are on
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Yeah
[Verse 9]
When the world was milk and honey
And the magic was strong and true
Then the strange ones came
And the people knew
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
In the land of the lost horizon
Where the chains are on
In the land of milk and honey
Still the chains are on
[Verse 12]
Where the queen lies dark and lonely
Still the chains are on
And the world was new and magic
But the chains are on
[Verse 13]
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
[Verse 14]
Seen them walking on the water (Oh, the chains were on)
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 (Hey, the chains were on)
