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 judgment day. On the bloody morning after one tin soldier rides away.Dennis Lambert
About This Quote
When the mountain people were murdered by the valley people, the valley people had to pay for their actions. Even though they didn't intend to kill anyone, they still had to pay for their actions. The valley people were very fortunate that the treasure was not taken away from them. They were also fortunate because it said "peace on earth" underneath the stone.
Peace was started among the valley and mountain people by the death of Mount Pelee. There won't be any trumpets blowing come judgement day because everyone will have to answer for their deeds.
