Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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, 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, oh
[Verse 3]
That the chains were on
That the chains were on
On my mind
[Verse 4]
In the land of no tomorrow
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, but still your chains are on
[Verse 6]
Yes, your chains are on
Still the chains are on
[Verse 7]
You've seen them walkin' on the water
You've seen them flyin' through the sky
They were frightenin' in the darkness
They had rainbows in their eyes
[Verse 8]
Hey-ow
When the world was milk and honey
And the magic was strong and true
Then the strange ones came and the people knew, oh
[Verse 9]
That the chains were on
(Chains were on)
That the chains were on
(Chains were on)
That the chains were on
(That the chains were on)
That the chains were on
(That the chains were on)
Oh, yeah, the chains were on
[Verse 10]
In the land of the lost horizon
Where the chains are on
(Where the chains are on)
In the land of milk and honey
Where the chains are on
(Where the chains are on)
Where the queen lies dark and lonely
Still the chains are on
(Still the chains are on)
And the world was few with magic
But still the chains are on, yeah, the chains are on
[Verse 11]
But the chains are on
(Through the time that we started)
And the chains are on
(And the chains are on)
Yeah, the chains are on
(Yeah, the chains are on)
But the chains are on
And the chains are on
(And the chains are on)
Well, the chains are on
[Verse 12]
And the chains are on
Still the chains are on
And the chains are on
The chains are on
Chains are on
The chains are on
