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
