One Tin Soldier

Listen, children, to a story

That was written long ago

About a Kingdom on a mountain

And a valley folk down belowOn the mountain was a treasure

Buried deep beneath a stone

And the valley people swore

They'd have it for their very ownGo ahead and hate your neighbor

Go ahead and cheat a friend

Do it in the name of heaven

You can justify it in the endBut there won't be any trumpets blowing

Come the judgment day

On the bloody morning after

One tin soldier rides awaySo the people of the valley

Sent a message up the hill

Asking for the buried treasure

Tons of gold for which they'd killCame an answer from the Kingdom

With our brothers, we will share

All the riches of our mountain

All the secrets buried thereNow the valley swore with anger

Mount your horses, draw your swords

And they killed the mountain people

So they won their just rewardsNow they stood beside the treasure

On the mountain dark and red

Turned the stone and looked beneath it

Peace on Earth, was all it saidGo ahead and hate your neighbor

Go ahead and cheat a friend

Do it in the name of Heaven

You can justify it in the endThere won't be any trumpets blowing

Come the judgment day

On the bloody morning after

One tin soldier rides awayGo ahead and hate your neighbor

Go ahead and cheat a friend

Do it in the name of heaven

You can justify it in the endThere won't be any trumpets blowing

Come the judgment day

On the bloody morning after

One tin soldier rides away
