One Tin Soldier
Lyricist:Dennis Lambert, Brian Potter
Listen, children, to a story That was written long ago About a Kingdom on a mountain And a valley folk down below
On the mountain was a treasure Buried deep beneath a stone And the valley people swore They'd have it for their very own
Go ahead and hate your neighbor Go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of heaven You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing Come the judgment day On the bloody morning after One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley Sent a message up the hill Asking for the buried treasure Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the Kingdom â€With our brothers, we will share All the riches of our mountain All the secrets buried thereâ€
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Now the valley swore with anger â€Mount your horses, draw your swords†And they killed the mountain people So they won their just rewards
Now stood beside the treasure On the mountain dark and red Turned the stone and looked beneath it â€Peace on Earthâ€, was all it said
Go ahead and hate your neighbor Go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of Heaven You can justify it in the end
There won't be any trumpets blowing Come the judgment day On the bloody morning after One tin soldier rides away
Go ahead and hate your neighbor Go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of heaven You can justify it in the end
There won't be any trumpets blowing Come the judgment day On the bloody morning after One tin soldier rides away
