    One Tin Soldier

    By-The Original Caste

    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 the 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 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."

    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 blowin', come the judgement day. On the bloody mornin' after...

    One Tin Soldier Rides Away.

    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.

    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 judgement day,

    On the bloody morning after....

    One tin soldier rides away.
