The only treasure, though, is a stone inscribed with “Peace on earth”; ironically, the valley-people, a metaphor for mankind, destroyed this treasure whilst in the pursuit of it. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus which is a common arrangement technique used to engrain a song in the listener’s memory."

Now that is a blue hippie message if I ever saw one.
Look to the external links provided in this link of course.

It's a hippie era song that's for sure. I associated Eric with the "valley people" mentality. Eric does not represent "Peace on Earth" or the beliefs of the  "mountain people" anymore than myself.

That is why we have our disputes, Eric and I. When he speaks of destroying and eliminating those who oppose him that is the opposite of the "peace on earth" message. That is just inclusion of those who are with his tribe and to hell with the others. That is not peace. That is oppression and further division. I can see why he is anti republican for various reasons but I certainly do not agree with his strategy if he is for peace on earth. How do you create peace when your actions and words say otherwise?

Our ancestors went through periods of war with the hope/goal of achieving long term peace. I assume that you have relatives who fought in the same World War's as my relatives.
