One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack)
by Lambert-Potter, sung by Coven
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 blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody
morning 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.
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.
