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 |
Go ahead and hate your neighbor |
Go ahead and cheat a friend |
Do it in the name of PROTECTION |
You can justify it in the end |
There won't be any trumpets blowing |
Come the judgment day |
On the bloody morning after who |
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 |
N' all the riches buried there |
Now the valley cried in 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 |
Turn the stone and which 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 PROTECTION |
You can justify it in the end |
There won't be any trumpets blowing |
Come the judgment day |
On the bloody morning after who |
One tin soldier rides away |
Go ahead and hate your neighbor |
Go ahead and cheat a friend |
Do it in the name of PROTECTION |
You can justify it in the end |
There won't be any trumpets blowing |
Come the judgment day |
On the bloody morning after |
One tin soldier rides away |
