[00:24.54]	Listen children to a story,
[00:27.16]	That was written long ago.
[00:29.64]	About a kingdom on a mountain,
[00:32.22]	And the valley folk below.
[00:36.45]	On the mountain was a treasure,
[00:38.75]	Buried deep beneath a stone,
[00:41.09]	And the valley people swore,
[00:43.37]	They'd have it for they're very own.
[00:48.13]	Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
[00:50.19]	Go ahead and cheat a friend.
[00:52.71]	Do it in the name of heaven,
[00:54.93]	(You can) justify it in the end.
[00:57.48]	There won't be any trumpets blowin'
[00:59.81]	Come the judgement day.
[01:01.86]	On the bloody morning after,
[01:06.61]	One tin soldier rides away.
[01:15.82]	So the people of the valley,
[01:18.01]	Sent a message up the hill.
[01:20.43]	Asking for the buried treasure,
[01:22.84]	Tons of gold for which they'd kill.
[01:27.28]	Came an answer, from the kingdom,
[01:29.43]	“With our brothers, we will share,
[01:31.76]	All the secrets of our mountain,
[01:34.18]	All the riches buried there.”
[01:38.65]	Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
[01:40.76]	Go ahead and cheat a friend.
[01:43.17]	Do it in the name of heaven,
[01:45.22]	(You can) justify it in the end.
[01:47.93]	There won't be any trumpets blowin'
[01:50.03]	Come the judgement day.
[01:52.13]	On the bloody morning after,
[01:56.97]	One tin soldier rides away.
[02:06.14]	Now the valley cried with anger,
[02:08.28]	“Mount your horses,
[02:09.54]	Draw your sword”
[02:10.66]	And they killed the mountain people,
[02:12.79]	So they gain their just reward.
[02:17.04]	Now they stood beside the treasure
[02:19.35]	On the mountain dark and red,
[02:21.76]	Turned the stone and looked beneath it,
[02:24.10]	“Peace on earth” “
[02:25.39]	Was all it said.
[02:28.27]	Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
[02:30.66]	Go ahead and cheat a friend.
[02:33.13]	Do it in the name of heaven,
[02:35.23]	(You can) justify it in the end.
[02:37.67]	There won't be any trumpets blowin
[02:39.84]	Come the judgement day.
[02:41.76]	On the bloody morning after,
[02:46.76]	One tin soldier rides away.
