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


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 walkin' on the water
You've seen flyin' through the sky
They were frightening in the darkness

They had rainbows in their eyes

Yes, 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 aglow and magic

But, the chains are on

Yeah, the chains are on

Oh, the chains are on
Yeah, the chains are on
Oh, the chains were on


Yeah, the chains were on
(Seen them walkin' on the water)

Oh, the chains are on
(Seen them flyin' through the sky)


My, the chains were on
(They were frightening in the darkness)
Yes, the chains are on

(They had rainbows in their eyes)
Yeah, the chains are on
