One Tin Soldier Rides Away
Listen children to a story That was written long ago 'Bout a kingdom on a mountain And the valley folk 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 could 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
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Mount your horses, draw your swords 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 looks beneath it 'Peace on earth' was all it said
Go ahead and hate your neighbor Go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of heaven You could 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 could 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
