Chelsia Chan & Sam Hui - One Tin Soldier
(Cover version of The Original Caste's song)
Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley far 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 - hate your neighbor
Go ahead - cheat a friend
Do it in the name of Heaven
Justified 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 - hate your neighbor
Go ahead - cheat a friend
Do it in the name of Heaven
Justified 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 - hate your neighbor
Go ahead - cheat a friend
Do it in the name of Heaven
Justified 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 - hate your neighbor
Go ahead - cheat a friend
Do it in the name of Heaven
Justified 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 - hate your neighbor
Go ahead - cheat a friend
Do it in the name of Heaven
Justified in the end
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after ...
One tin soldier rides away
