One Tin Soldier Lyrics - Singles - Coven

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 can justify it in the end 

There won't be any trumpets blowing 

Come the Judgment Day 

On the bloody morning after who 

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 

An' all the riches buried there 

Now the valley cried in 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 

Turn the stone and which 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 can justify it in the end 

There won't be any trumpets blowing 

Come the Judgment Day 

On the bloody morning after who 

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 who 

One tin soldier rides away
