Military Man

Music: Glenn Kaiser, Jim Denton and Stu Heiss
Lyrics: Glenn Kaiser and Jon Trott

Military man got his armor on
Molten machine got his loaded gun
Paying his dues on a foreign shore
Just another day playing games of war

For this is the end of the military man
For this is the end of the military man

Military man, yeah, I'm a military man  

Yeah, yeah

Military man got his demons laughing, pushing him over the sanity brink
Horizons changing, train derailing, his iron ships begun to sink

For this is the end of the military man
For this is the end of the military man

Military man, yeah, I'm a military man  

Yeah, yeah

Saw the light from the Man above
His heart pierced by a sword of love in the military man

Considering chances in a nuclear zone
Hard to live life beneath the battle's drone
Silver syringe caught his victim napping
Slapping him 'round a broken life on loan
He caught sight of the future shock
Defenses crushed beneath the Risen Rock
The Risen Rock, yeah, yeah

No more doing time
He tasted the new wine
No more reason to fight
For the military man
No more military man
No more military man

How you doin'
One question right here,
Are you ready to rock ?
Are you ready to rock ?
Are you ready to rock ?
Are you ready to rock ?
Well, let's go !

No more military man
Thank you good evening

Reluctance

Resurrection Band - DMZ - © 1982

 
Reluctance, you don't really love
Reluctance, you act so tought

Harden your heart, close your mind
Ask yourself no questions
Shut your ears, seal your lips
Your life full of objections

Reluctance, you say the strong survive
Reluctance, as if you never cry

Give it time, as everyone
You'll have to face the truth
Insecure, inadequate in many things you do

You need love, you need love
A love beyond this world
God is love, the source of love
The one love in this world

Babylon

Resurrection Band - DMZ - © 1982



Cobblestones, quaint little homes
Shutters loced, sirens drone
And over at the factory
Workers on the dole
Nothing to take heart in now
It's begun to take its toll

I saw Babylon slowly start to burn
I heard the voices crying
Refusing ever to learn, Babylon

The glory of it all
God become a Man
The pure and Holy Lover
You betrayed Him with a kiss
Murdered your own Brother

Sometimes it flowed like a magic
The plesure hid the flaw
But oh forever tragic
Him you never saw

I saw the heavens shake
Saw the city fade
Shattered in one hour
Time to build again
Babylon, Babylon is fallen

I Need Your Love

Resurrection Band - DMZ - © 1982


I want Your love, I need Your love
People come'n'go, people change
Your love flows, You stay the same
I want Your love

I want Your fire, I need Your desires
Wheels are turnin' all around me
Fire's burnin' I'm so glad You found me
I want Your fire, I need Your desires

I'm not ashamed anymore
I call You Love, Jesus, I call you Lord

You're the beginning, You're the end
You're my first love, my best friend
You brought the daylight to the day
Created strlight to guide my way
You are my Saviour, You are my Lord
You paid the price I could never afford

Area 312

Resurrection Band - DMZ - © 1982



Hiding out in my bedroom
I wish that I could die
No one seems to love me
But I'm not gonna cry
Boyfriend left me yesterday
He said I wasn't cool
But I'm all right, yeah, I'm okay
I ain't nobody's fool

I hate it here in Area 312
Can't make it here in Area 312
Operator, listen please
I got loneliness disease
In Area 312

Acting all the different roles
Wearing a new face
Needing someone to know me
Out here lost in space
Best friend said
I wasn't tought
Teenage lobotomy
But life is more
Than girl meets boy
When myself ain't met me

High school unreality
Normality, so strange
Looking for some answers
Ready for a change
Feeling so distressed tonight
Jesus, are You there
Could we talk a little while
I heard You really care

I hate it here in Area 312
Can't make it here in Area 312
Jesus, won't You listen please
I got loneliness disease
In Area 312

No Alibi

Resurrection Band - DMZ - © 1982



I was wrong from the start
Selfishness stubborn pride
Cought in sin, reckless ways
Self-deceived, cold inside
Sending messages of need
But I couldn't seem to leave
Silent stories wrapped in me
Oh I needed to be free

No excuse, no reply
No defence, ne reasons why
No alibi

How I needed Your gace
How I needed Your forgiveness
What I'd done I could not erase
How I needed Your deliverance

I could not return to You
Not until I faced the truth
To be honest, to be real
To give up this heart of steel

White Noise

Resurrection Band - DMZ - © 1982



Defective youth, the writing's on the wall
Decline of the West, see the fallout fall
Violence, banner of the tough
Politicians playing blind man's bluff

Now what, whose deal?
What's truth, what's real?
Turn it down, turn it off
It's all white noise to me

America's missiles, a superpower blessed
A hungry child is crying, pretend it's just a test
Russia's got the gulag, Pretoria the bomb
Making sure the weak keep silent, move along

Defective man, the writing's on your heart
Reality of evil, tearing you apart
Hanging in the balance, you hear the Savior call
Make Him Lord of everything or see the nations fall

Now what, whose deal?
He's truth, He's real
Open up, start to feel
No more white noise for me

Lonely Hearts

Resurrection Band - DMZ - © 1982



Saw your ad in the column
Took your number down
I would have called you sooner
But I've been out of town
I know this might seem crazy
But still I'm going to say it
Jesus made me care for you
The debt we owed; He paid it

Lonely hearts and hidden fears
Cigarettes and late-night tears
Place the ad and mayby soon
Someone shares an empty room

You sat there night after night
An' now you're drawing straws
Trying to find the right somebody
Not everybody does
Cause there's only One Who's right
Rest of us are wrong
Until we hold His love inside
Until we sing His song

Saw your ad in the column
No- I'm not going to show
Just had to ring you up today
Offering you love

The Prisoner

Resurrection Band - DMZ - © 1982



I saw a crack in the armor just a moment ago
Don't be afraid, you got nothin' to hide
I've seen an' heard it all before
Just like the rest, you're hurting inside
Just a big town kid with a small town life
Trying to find a way to get in
Lookin' for a golden opportunity
In a scenario lined with tin

I understand, I've been there before
An' I used to visit often
I've been around, but I finally escaped
Will the prisoner start to soften

Some kind of style, some kinda fantasy
Just a dream that's ever changing
Create the rules, it's a loaded game
In the end it's so frustrating
You believe what you choose to believe
You receive what you choose to receive
Don't take my word for it
Ask the Savior your self

So In Love With You

Resurrection Band - DMZ - © 1982



Somewhere in Scotland or Wales
I met You in heather
Under starlit skies, was it in November
A dream, a thought, a wisper there
All I know is now I know You care
Somewhere in time I realized

What can I say, can I do
I'm so in love with You

Somewhere in time I realized how lost I'd been
Black out on the moors, taunting Northern wind
Rainsaaked daybreak, arriving at Land's End
Dawn paints storm clouds
You coloured me Your friend

Your name, my reason for being
If love is, so are You
Blue tide, mirror bright
My heart reflects Your truth
A spark, a prayer beyond the lee
I found joy in Your reality
Jesus, I'm so in love with You
