They were frightening in the darkness
My, the chains were on
In the land of no tomorrow
Where you pray just to end each day
Then the story's told, yeah
Then the strange ones came
That the chains were on
But, the chains are on
That the chains were on
And that's free
Where the queen lies dark and lonely
(They had rainbows in their eyes)
In the land of milk and honey
Come and sail on my golden sea
Oh, my, the chains were on
Still, your chains are on
Still the chains are on
When the world was milk and honey
Yes, the chains are on
That the chains were on
They had rainbows in their eyes
You've seen them walkin' on the water
In the land of the lost horizon
Still the chains are on
And your life just slowly melts away
And when the stars won't shine
(Seen flyin' through the sky)
And the people knew
And the people knew
Yeah, the chains were on
Yeah, the chains are on
Oh, the chains are on
Maybe one day you'll be just like me
And the world was aglow and magic
(They were frightening in the darkness)
Yeah, the chains are on
Yes, your chains are on
And the magic was strong and true
Each day you hear the sand
You've seen flyin' through the sky
Oh, the chains are on
Where the chains are on
Yeah, that the chains were on
And the magic was strong and true
(Seen them walkin' on the water)
That the chains were on, my my my
That the chains were on
Then the strange ones came
Yes, when the world was milk and honey
As it moves and whispers
Oh, the chains were on
But, still your chains are on
