SILENCE SCREAMS
Silence Screams
Resurrection Band - SILENCE SCREAMS - © 1988
The hand are frozen solid on the face of saving grace Where infiels are harlots choose a blackened burning place Silence screams, the echoes roar Silence screams, forever more With idiots and manneguins and charlatans in tow Circus clows and lunatics and ladies dressed for show In a sullen field of chaos where dead men still have dreams From pressure in these spaces silence screams The folly in our passion The prisoner of desire The fooliness of bigots Finder for the fire In bitterness and exile As brutal as it seems In the coldest darkest spirit Silence screams You knew You heard the truth You understood You knew what to do To receive Him Believe Him
You Got Me Rockin'

Ain't pullin' no punches I got nothing to prove I'm a holy roller an' I live in Your Truth For Your power is mighty An' I trust in Your Word So bring on the lions, they have to face you first You got me rockin' An' I give you control You got me rolling My name's on the roll Fill me with Your Spirit Transform my mind I will not be silent 'Cause now is the time For the Truth of the gospel To be shouted out loud In the heat of the battle In the midst of the crowd I thank You for dyin', so that I could live I thank You for somethin', that I could give My tallent surrendered me My life on the line Jesus You're my salvation Turnin' water to wine
Someone Sleeps

Yellow moon rice And the shadows are so long Comes as no suprise I hear another good night song And the echoes In those hills A random rhythm The silence fills And someone deals in pain And someone deals in power And someone sleeps tonight (forever) Ragged children left to play Fear, then hear the sound Run, run, oh run away Stumbling feet on dusty clay In the rockets glaring red A weeping mother bows her head 'Cause someone sleeps tonight, forever And in the flame's of inferno Consuming human flesh and soul Innocence becomes a stranger Despair a burning coal An old man's eyes are vacant His hand is open, still Children wander in the ruined streets Wrehe grief roams, never filled Sometimes at night they hear The wind of a past they cannot change And in the morning silence Tell me what goodness will remain? The bitter cup is filled once more A bloody history pains this land They try to seal a tomb that's empty While they build the cross again
Waitin' On Sundown

Hands in pockets His wallet's a weapon Corporation hit man Nothin's left when he's done They come from Pnomh Penh Got seven children What's the difference He'll just evict them No need to trick them Just a victim He don't know the family He don't need no reason He just play the game of buy and sell People don't concern him Money is what drives him Why should he be bothered by them hell? Waitin' on sundown They get the lowdown I don't want you in my town No way to hold out Just bought and sold out Down the river No one to turn to Their home went to The higgest bidder Waitin' on sundown It's the story of Uptown Another refugee rundown There is gonna be a shutdown!
Presence Of The Lord

I have finally found a way to live like I never knew before And I know I don't have much to give but He will open every door Everybody knows the secret, everybody knows the score I have finally found a way to live, in the color of the Lord I have finally found a place to give like I never knew before And I know I don't have much to give but He will open every door Everybody knows, it's no secret, everybody knows the score I have finally found a place to give, in the presence of my Lord
Light/Light

They surround Me like a ring of fire They crown me with bitter desire I pay for the sake of souls My grave just a visit below Storms inside, darkness in broad daylight The pounding of the waves lonely black as night Light, light, carry My light on high Light, light, carry it on Silence the great divorce of dreams The frozen sound, the holy ground, and today they rise with Me
Rain Dance
Resurrection Band - SILENCE SCREAMS - © 1988
Talkin' to myself Idea and images covered with dust Memories well-worn from contant use Stained by loneliness and lust Heaping on my heart abuse Somebody tell me What's the use? Wet-walking in streaming rain Hair stuck to my head like my thoughts Regents half-felt and sin half-loved What I have bought? Drops coming down on my face And on the roottops But they don't reach inside me I say faith is just for fools Somebody tell me What's the use? Love cold and wet Against my skin Where do you end How do you begin I'm so lost in a world without Your breath Needing Your fire Fearing Your flame Should I surrender Waiting for the rain Streaming rain Come rain Lord send Your rain, rain, rain rain rain
Every Waking Hour

You're getting through to me There's no mistake I knew it instantly There's no escape Shadow on the wall Voice in my night It's like a silent movie Ooh, runnin' all the time I think I know You I think I'm known No one can fool You My cover's blown What are You tellin' me Why do I feel fear? Every waking hour I know You're so near Will You plase hold me Don't let me go Please take me in Your arms I need to know Why do You love me In sacrifice How could You offer me Your very life? In every waking hour You are so near In every waking hour I knew You're, I knew You're In every waking hour In every waking hour
Three Seconds

They got him bangin' his head again The family fights but who cares when Crack party waitin' in the street Where hell is heaven and nothin's free They'll be comin' They'll be searchin' They'll be lookin' for him that's for certain Pick up his jacket with the colors on Pick up his girl and the gig is on Tough boys in a squad car scene And he ends up downtown wearin' prison green They'll were comin' They'll were searchin' They'll were lookin' for him that was certain He was a loser They got him Three seconds and the jury was in Bad dope, bad shot Bad rap and it was prison he got Three seconds and his life on the line An old song, in his ears Amazing Grace for him and then came the tears My love, won't leave you alone My love, will carry you home There was a scene in his cell again They tried breakin' his will again But he ain't really under their command He knows the freedom of another Plan They'll be comin' They'll be searchin' They'll be lookin' for him that's for certain Jesus comin', angels searchin' They'll be lovin' him long That's for certain
You Get What You Choose
Resurrection Band - SILENCE SCREAMS - © 1988
Where have we been and where are we goin' And who really cares? A trip to the moon, a tryst in the desert We fall down the stairs Somebody wins, and somebody loses It's up to you Someone's fool and someone is a fighter You get what you choose Moses to Paul, Samson to Delilah It's all the same You sell out or you put out And it ain't no game Scars on our hearts and mud on our faces On network tv A passion for success, a love affair with money It's time to get on our knees All the talk in the world It don't mean nothin' Even when inventions are good God send His Son to make us be honest Not just to make us feel good Nothin' is worse than a self-centered liar And sometimes that's me and you But for everyone involved we gotta change That the world can know He is the Truth
