[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.
