- One Tin Soldier
-
- Listen people to a story
- that was written long ago,
- 'bout a kingdom on a mountain
- And the valley folks below.
- On the mountain was a treasure
- Hidden deep beneath a 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 the answer from the kingdom,
- With our brothers we will share,
- All the riches of the mountain,
- All the treasure buried there.
-
- Now the valley cried with anger,
- Mount your horses, draw your swords
- And they killed the mountain people,
- So they won their just rewards
- Now they stood before 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 and 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.
