Listen children to a story, |
| [00:13.85] |
That was written long ago. |
| [00:16.26] |
About a kingdom on a mountain, |
| [00:18.45] |
And the valley folk below. |
| [00:20.75] |
On the mountain was a treasure, |
| [00:22.93] |
Buried deep beneath a stone, |
| [00:25.26] |
And the valley people swore, |
| [00:27.38] |
They'd have it for they're very own. |
| [00:31.46] |
Go ahead and hate your neighbor, |
| [00:33.72] |
Go ahead and cheat a friend. |
| [00:36.21] |
Do it in the name of heaven, |
| [00:38.22] |
(You can) justify it in the end. ( |
| [00:40.62] |
There won't be any trumpets blowin' |
| [00:42.83] |
Come the judgement day. |
| [00:45.03] |
On the bloody morning after, |
| [00:48.41] |
One tin soldier rides away. |
| [00:52.46] |
So the people of the valley, |
| [00:54.42] |
Sent a message up the hill. |
| [00:56.58] |
Asking for the buried treasure, |
| [00:58.93] |
Tons of gold for which they'd kill. |
| [01:01.17] |
Came an answer, from the kingdom, |
| [01:03.36] |
“With our brothers, we will share, “ |
| [01:05.63] |
All the secrets of our mountain, |
| [01:07.95] |
All the riches buried there.” |
| [01:14.62] |
Now the valley cried with anger, |
| [01:16.57] |
“Mount your horses, “ |
| [01:17.47] |
Draw your sword” |
| [01:18.71] |
And they killed the mountain people, |
| [01:21.12] |
So they won their just reward. |
| [01:23.27] |
Now they stood beside the treasure |
| [01:25.51] |
On the mountain dark and red, |
| [01:27.68] |
Turned the stone and looked beneath it, |
| [01:30.83] |
“Peace on earth” “ |
| [01:32.21] |
Was all it said. |
| [01:35.74] |
Go ahead and hate your neighbor, |
| [01:37.69] |
Go ahead and cheat a friend. |
| [01:40.00] |
Do it in the name of heaven, |
| [01:42.04] |
(You can) justify it in the end. ( |
| [01:44.50] |
There won't be any trumpets blowin' |
| [01:46.46] |
Come the judgement day. |
| [01:48.86] |
On the bloody morning after, |
| [01:53.35] |
One tin soldier rides away. |
