I first wanted to mention how similiar this is to another song that was released later (and possibly inspired by Dio's) by Bruce Dickinson called "Taking the Queen." Dio talks about how the "Queen lies dark and cold".. same with Dickinson. Obviousyl there is some correlation. "When the stars dont shine then the story is told." Basically, Dio and Dickinson know the tale.. they are occultists and very wise.. but many don't. The Queen... the feminine principle.. the inner self, the astral plane, dream world where we are all linked together.. its taken from us. Now, "Their chains are on"... humans ruled over by the 4 elements, instead of spiritual supremecy. "Chains" is a broad term here.. anything binding you and holding you down from whatever it is you are TRULY supposed to do.
