Coven - One Tin Soldier Lyrics
(Dennis Lambert, Brian Potter)Listen, children, to a storyThat was written long ago'Bout a kingdom on a mountainAnd the valley folk belowOn the mountain was a treasureBuried deep beneath a stoneAnd the valley people sworeThey'd have it for their very ownGo ahead and hate your neighborGo ahead and cheat a friendDo it in the name of HeavenYou can justify it in the endThere won't be any trumpets blowingCome the judgment dayOn the bloody morning after who...One tin soldier rides awaySo, the people of the valleySent a message up the hillAsking for the buried treasure,Tons of gold for which they'd killCame an answer from the kingdom,"With our brothers, we will shareAll 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 peopleSo, they won their just rewardNow, they stood beside the treasureOn the mountain dark and redTurn the stone and looks beneath it..."Peace on Earth" was all it saidGo ahead and hate your neighborGo ahead and cheat a friendDo it in the name of HeavenYou can justify it in the endThere won't be any trumpets blowingCome the judgment dayOn the bloody morning after who...One tin soldier rides awayGo ahead and hate your neighborGo ahead and cheat a friendDo it in the name of HeavenYou can justify it in the endThere won't be any trumpets blowingCome the judgment dayOn the bloody morning after who...One tin soldier rides away
