Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
About a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley far below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore they'd have
It for they're very own

Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead a cheat a friend
Do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
There won't be any trumpets sounding
Come the judgement 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,
"With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain,
All the riches buried there."

Now the valley cried with anger,
"Mount your horses! Draw your sword!"
And they killed the mountain-people,
So they won their just reward.
Now they stood beside the treasure,
On the mountain, dark and red.
Turned the stone and looked beneath it...
"Peace on Earth" was all it said.
