The song 'One Tin Soldier Rides Away' tells a story about a kingdom on a mountain and the valley-folk below. The valley-people wanted the treasure buried deep beneath the mountain and sent a message asking for it. The mountain-people agreed to share the secrets of their mountain, but the valley-people killed them and found only a message of 'Peace on Earth' beneath the treasure. The song was originally performed by The Original Cast in 1970.
