One Tine Soldier

listen children to a story that was written long ago
bout a kingdom on a mountain, and a valley far below
on the mountain was a treasure, buried deep beneath
the stone
and the mountain people swore, they'd have it for their
very own

so 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
but there won't be any trumpet 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 and answer from the kingdom "with our brothers
we will share
all the secrets of out mountain, all the riches buried
there."

cries of anger from the valley, "mount you horses! draw
your swords!"
and they killed the mountain people, so they won thier
just reward
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

so 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
but there won't be any trumpet blowing
come the judgement day
on the bloody morning after
one tin soldier rides away
