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 a stone 
And the valley people swore 
They'd have it for their very own 

[Chorus]
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 blowin' 
Come the judgement day 
On the bloody mornin' after 
One tin soldier rides away 

So the people of the valley 
Sent a message up the 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 

[Chorus] 

Now the valley cried with anger 
Mount your horses 
Draw your swords 
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 

[Chorus]
