Listen children to a story

That was written long ago

Bout' a kingdom on a mountain

And the valley far below

On the mountain was the 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 heaven

You can justify it in the end

There wont be any trumpets blowing

Come the judgment day

On the bloody morning after huhu…

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 kindom

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 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

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 wont be any trumpets blowing

Come the judgment day

On the bloody morning after… huhu…

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 wont be any trumpets blowing

Come the judgment day

On the bloody morning after… huhu…

One tin soldier rides away
