Lyrics

This from the album "The Last in Line"

It is called "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, yeah

When the world was milk and honey

And the magic was strong and true

Then the strange ones came

And the people knew, ah-ah

That the chains were on

The chains were on

My, my, my

In the land of no tomorrow

Where you pray, "Let me end this day"

You feel your life just slowly melting away, I say

Each day you hear the sand

As it moves and whispers

Comе and sail on my golden sea

Maybe onе day you'll be just like me, but I'm free

And still your chains are on

Your chains are always on

I see freedom in your eyes

But you're hiding it behind the lies

That your chains are on, on, on

In the misty morning, on the edge of time

We lost a rising sun, it's the final sign

As the misty morning rose away the day

Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky

We sailed across the air before we learned to fly

We thought that it could never end, oh

We'd glide above the ground before we learned to run, run

Now it seems our world has come undone

And they say that it's over

And it just had to be, they say

Oh, they say that it's over

We are lost children of the sea, oh-oh

We made the mountains shake with laughter as we played

Hiding in our corner of the world

Then we did the demon dance and rushed to nevermore

Threw away the key and locked the door

Oh, they say that it's over

And it just had to be

Oh, they say that it's over

We are lost children of the sea, oh-oh

In the land of the lost horizon

Where your chains are lost

In the world of milk and honey, yeah

Where your chains, they're on

Look out, skys faling down

Look out, spinning 'round and runing round

Look out, the sun is coming black, black

Look out, never, never coming back

Look out
