Lyrics

[00:17.84] Listen children to a story,
[00:20.58] That was written long ago.
[00:23.30] About a kingdom on a mountain,
[00:25.91] And the valley folk below.
[00:28.76] On the mountain was a treasure,
[00:31.60] Buried deep beneath a stone,
[00:34.40] And the valley people swore,
[00:37.05] They'd have it for they're very own.
[00:41.84] Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
[00:44.54] Go ahead and cheat a friend.
[00:47.41] Do it in the name of heaven,
[00:50.03] (You can) justify it in the end. （
[00:52.93] There won't be any trumpets blowin'
[00:55.49] Come the judgement day.
[00:57.97] On the bloody morning after,
[01:03.18] One tin soldier rides away.
[01:10.92] So the people of the valley,
[01:13.64] Sent a message up the hill.
[01:16.52] Asking for the buried treasure,
[01:19.29] Tons of gold for which they'd kill.
[01:22.09] Came an answer, from the kingdom,
[01:24.87] “With our brothers, we will share, “
[01:27.68] All the secrets of our mountain,
[01:30.43] All the riches buried there.”
[01:35.13] Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
[01:37.83] Go ahead and cheat a friend.
[01:40.61] Do it in the name of heaven,
[01:43.19] (You can) justify it in the end. （
[01:45.97] There won't be any trumpets blowin'
[01:48.92] Come the judgement day.
[01:51.35] On the bloody morning after,
[01:56.31] One tin soldier rides away.
[02:03.95] Now the valley cried with anger,
[02:06.72] “Mount your horses, “
[02:08.08] Draw your sword”
[02:09.51] And they killed the mountain people,
[02:12.36] So they gain their just reward.
[02:14.99] Now they stood beside the treasure
[02:17.79] On the mountain dark and red,
[02:20.61] Turned the stone and looked beneath it,
[02:24.36] “Peace on earth” “
[02:26.07] Was all it said.
[02:30.44] Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
[02:32.94] Go ahead and cheat a friend.
[02:35.59] Do it in the name of heaven,
[02:38.51] (You can) justify it in the end. （
[02:41.05] There won't be any trumpets blowin'
[02:43.61] Come the judgement day.
[02:46.25] On the bloody morning after,
[02:51.93] One tin soldier rides away.
[02:56.50] Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
[02:59.10] Go ahead and cheat a friend.
[03:01.91] Do it in the name of heaven,
[03:04.54] (You can) justify it in the end. （
[03:07.27] There won't be any trumpets blowin'
[03:10.04] Come the judgement day.
[03:12.57] On the bloody morning after,
[03:17.77] One tin soldier rides away.
[03:22.47] Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
[03:25.16] Go ahead and cheat a friend.
[03:28.10] Do it in the name of heaven,
[03:30.50] (You can) justify it in the end. （
[03:33.46] There won't be any trumpets blowin'
[03:36.01] Come the judgement day.
[03:38.60] On the bloody morning after,
[03:44.37] One tin soldier rides away.
