velvet revolution

The Velvet Revolution (November 16 - December 29, 1989) is a bloodless, non-violent revolution in Czechoslovakia that saw the overthrow of the Marxist-Leninist government.


I wish all things could work out better with no war - no bloodshed. It takes tears to get us where we need to be, or where we ought to be. Change can come with soft touches, no weapons but the ones of our mouthes. And hands holding flowers as a sign of peace.



Feeling radical in cotton
Purified in my Satin
But the bomb of the season
Is a velvet revolution

Look at the sky
And feel the tears
Of the prophets crying
Look at the sky
And feel the rain
Their reign of tears
Feeling radical in cotton

Purified in my Satin
But the bomb of the season
Is a velvet revolution

All you killers of the children
There’s a new commandment
The true divine creator
Wants a velvet revolution
All you killers of the children
There’s a new commandment
The true divine creator
Wants a velvet revolution
