Listen children to a story that was written long ago
About a kingdom on a mountainand 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 their very own
Go ahead and hate your neighbour Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of heaven Justify it in the end
There won't be any trumpets blowing Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after her 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 killed
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 peoples 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
