[00:17.38] Listen children to a story,
[00:20.26] That was written long ago.
[00:23.03] About a kingdom on a mountain,
[00:25.72] And the valley folk below.
[00:28.42] On the mountain was a treasure,
[00:31.35] Buried deep beneath a stone,
[00:34.43] And the valley people swore,
[00:37.09] They'd have it for they're very own.
[00:42.03] Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
[00:44.78] Go ahead and cheat a friend.
[00:47.67] Do it in the name of heaven,
[00:50.75] (You can) justify it in the end.
[00:53.17] There won't be any trumpets blowin'
[00:55.94] Come the judgement day.
[00:58.72] On the bloody morning after,
[01:04.21] One tin soldier rides away.
[01:11.64] So the people of the valley,
[01:14.34] Sent a message up the hill.
[01:17.23] Asking for the buried treasure,
[01:20.11] Tons of gold for which they'd kill.
[01:22.89] Came an answer, from the kingdom,
[01:25.54] “With our brothers, we will share, “
[01:28.57] All the secrets of our mountain,
[01:30.64] All the riches buried there.”
[01:39.22] Now the valley cried with anger,
[01:41.93] “Mount your horses, “
[01:43.71] Draw your sword”
[01:44.84] And they killed the mountain people,
[01:47.63] So they won their just reward.
[01:50.51] Now they stood beside the treasure
[01:53.24] On the mountain dark and red,
[01:56.10] Turned the stone and looked beneath it,
[01:59.69] “Peace on earth” “
[02:01.41] Was all it said.
[02:05.44] Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
[02:08.25] Go ahead and cheat a friend.
[02:11.04] Do it in the name of heaven,
[02:13.47] (You can) justify it in the end.
[02:16.70] There won't be any trumpets blowin'
[02:19.03] Come the judgement day.
[02:22.07] On the bloody morning after,
[02:27.42] One tin soldier rides away.
[02:35.16] Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
[02:37.83] Go ahead and cheat a friend.
[02:40.39] Do it in the name of heaven,
[02:43.44] (You can) justify it in the end.
[02:46.36] There won't be any trumpets blowin'
[02:48.76] Come the judgement day.
[02:51.76] On the bloody morning after,
