Listen children
To a story
That was written
Long ago
'Bout a kingdom
On a mountain
And the valley-folk
Below
On the mountain
Was a 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
Any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody
Morning after
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
All the riches
Buried there
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 looked 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
Any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody
Morning after
One tin soldier
Rides away
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
Any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody
Morning after
One tin soldier
Rides away
