One Tin Soldier Listen children to a story that was written long ago About a kingdom of a mountain and the valley from below On the mountain was the treasure buried deep beneath the stone And the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of Heaven, you can justify it in the end There won't be and trumpets blowin come the judgement day On the bloody morning after gloom, one tin soldier rides away So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill Asking for the buried treasure, tons of gold for which they'd kill Came an answer from the kingdom, with our brothers we will share All the secrets of our mountain, of the riches buried there Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of Heaven, you can justify it in the end There won't be and trumpets blowin come the judgement day On the bloody morning after gloom, one tin soldier rides away Now the valley cried with anger, mount your horses, draw your sword And they killed the mountain people, so they won their just reward Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain dark and red Turned the stone and looks beneath it ~ Peace on earth was all it said Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of Heaven, you can justify it in the end There won't be and trumpets blowin come the judgement day On the bloody morning after gloom, one tin soldier rides away |
