[00:17.58]Listen children to a story,
[00:20.34]That was written long ago.
[00:23.12]About a kingdom on a mountain,
[00:25.91]And the valley folk below.
[00:28.67]On the mountain was a treasure,
[00:31.41]Buried deep beneath a stone,
[00:34.36]And the valley people swore,
[00:37.00]They'd have it for they're very own.
[00:42.41]Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
[00:44.63]Go ahead and cheat a friend.
[00:47.85]Do it in the name of heaven,
[00:50.53](You can) justify it in the end.
[00:53.46]There won't be any trumpets blowin'
[00:55.98]Come the judgement day.
[00:58.91]On the bloody morning after,
[01:04.34]One tin soldier rides away.
[01:11.83]So the people of the valley,
[01:14.64]Sent a message up the hill.
[01:17.38]Asking for the buried treasure,
[01:20.28]Tons of gold for which they'd kill.
[01:23.15]Came an answer, from the kingdom,
[01:25.91]“With our brothers, we will share, “
[01:28.78]All the secrets of our mountain,
[01:31.69]All the riches buried there.”
[01:39.48]Now the valley cried with anger,
[01:42.32]“Mount your horses, “
[01:43.67]Draw your sword”
[01:45.03]And they killed the mountain people,
[01:47.94]So they won their just reward.
[01:50.71]Now they stood beside the treasure
[01:53.46]On the mountain dark and red,
[01:56.29]Turned the stone and looked beneath it,
[02:00.22]“Peace on earth” “
[02:01.65]Was all it said.
[02:05.64]Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
[02:08.34]Go ahead and cheat a friend.
[02:11.32]Do it in the name of heaven,
[02:13.83](You can) justify it in the end.
[02:16.88]There won't be any trumpets blowin'
[02:19.49]Come the judgement day.
[02:22.21]On the bloody morning after,
[02:27.74]One tin soldier rides away.
[02:35.30]Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
[02:38.12]Go ahead and cheat a friend.
[02:41.08]Do it in the name of heaven,
[02:43.69](You can) justify it in the end.
[02:46.71]There won't be any trumpets blowin'
[02:49.20]Come the judgement day.
[02:51.93]On the bloody morning after,
[02:57.66]One tin soldier rides away.
