lyrics

A random act of kindness,
writing's on the wall.
Sleepwalking to the edge
prisoner of the pledge.
Commitment's holy oath,
soldier's honour at stake;
& the generals keep pushing
for their medals sake.

A random act of kindness.
Empires start to fall.
Kingdom starts to crumble,
deaf to the warning call.
Where is a word of kindness,
forgiving, true & humble?

A random act of kindness;
The selfish gene proceeds.
"I wish it could've been different
undo the bloody deed".
A seldom sign of reason,
Could lift this veil of doom.
Poor Luxembourg is waiting,
as the sun is reaching noon.

A random act of kindness,
or a fleeting glimpse of light.
The ultimatum's passing
no-one wants to fight.

A random act of kindness,
a sudden lapse in blindness.
A continent of suicide
no trench is left where you can hide.
