Egypt (The Chains Are On) / Children of the Sea (Black Sabbath Cover) Lyrics

by Dio

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 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

The the strange ones came and the people knew

That the chains were on

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 were on

When the world was new and magic

Still the chains are on

In the misty morning, on the edge of time

We've lost the rising sun, a final sign

As the misty morning rolls away to die

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

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

Now it seems our world has come undone

Oh they say that it's over

And it just had to be

Ooh they say that it's over

We're lost children of the sea, 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, yeah

And it just had to be

Yes they say that it's over

We're lost children of the sea
