oldier (The Legend of Billy Jack)
---------------------------------
(Lambert-Potter, sung by Coven)
isten, children, to a storyThat was written long ago,
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley-folk below.
n the mountain was a treasureBuried deep beneath the stone,
And the valley-people swore
They'd have it for their very own.
Chorus:
o 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.
here won't be any trumpets blowingCome the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.
o the people of the valleySent a message up the hill,
Asking for the buried treasure,
Tons of gold for which they'd kill.
ame an answer from the kingdom,"With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain,
All the riches buried there."
ow the valley cried with anger,"Mount your horses! Draw your sword!"
And they killed the mountain-people,
So they won their just reward.
ow 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.
Chorus:
o 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.
here won't be any trumpets blowingCome the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.
Chorus:
o 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.
here won't be any trumpets blowingCome the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.
