Redhead with Horns - Egypt, Your Chains Are On
Originally written by Redhead with Horns in 1973, the song “Egypt, Your Chains Are On” was recorded by Bob Marley in '74 and released in Northern Europe. It was a minor hit in the Netherlands, reaching number 23. As a favor to a mate, Redhead let his old drinking buddy Ronnie James Dio have a go at the song in the 1980s. Dio turned it into a big hit in the rock world in 1988. Jumping on the bandwagon, Redhead then re-recorded the song in the same heavy rock style as Dio's version, but it failed to chart, causing a rift between the two stars. Redhead always insisted that Marley's version was the best.

00:00In the land of the lost horizon
00:28Where the queen lies dark and cold
00:34When the stars won't shine, then the story's told
00:46When the world was milk and honey
00:53And the magic was strong and true
00:59Then the strange ones came and the people knew
01:08That the chains were on
01:14That the chains were on
01:19That the chains were on
01:24In the land of no tomorrow
01:29Where you pray just to end each day
01:35And your life just slowly melts away
01:48Each day you hear the sound as it moves and whispers
01:55Come and sail on my golden sea
02:01Maybe one day you'll be just like me
02:11Chains are on
02:15Yes, your chains are on

02:28Yes, your chains are on
02:44You've seen them walking in the water
03:09You've seen them flying in the sky
03:15They were frightening in their darkness
03:21They had rainbows in their eyes
03:45Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
03:49Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
04:15In the land of the lost horizon
04:22Where the queen lies dark and cold
04:28When the stars won't shine, then the story's told
04:35When the world was milk and honey, and honey
04:42And the magic was strong, it was true
04:48Then the strange ones came and the people knew
04:56Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
05:00And the people knew
05:04Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
