Sweet Comfort Band - Armed and Ready

- 10th track from "Cutting Edge" (1982). “Armed And Ready” is the best composition ever from Sweet Comfort Band. An element of the progressive is delivered, found in time changes and ranging from keyboard-driven verses in which Thomas handles lead vocals to a guitar-edged chorus upheld by Duncan’s smoother vocal abilities.
What is the outcome? A sublime-almost symphonic-environs that, for a lack of better words, was way ahead of its time. I am surprised this has not been covered by one of the better power/progressive metal bands out there. Spiritual warfare is the subject at hand:
I am preparing to face the fight
Put on my helmet and fasten it tight
Wearing the armor that keeps my heart pure
Take up the shield that will help me endure
My only weapon, a mighty sword
My one allegiance to my King and Lord
I live my life by the words that He says
That is what gives me the cutting edge

I grew up listening to this album. Such good music!!
Went online and got this cd and Perfect Timing.Surprised that I remember all the songs. It's been like 30yrs since I've heard these guys.
I remember hearing this for the first time as a kid and loving that guitar solo at the end. I still love it to this day. I played this album over and over so many times when I was young.
Omg, I totally forgot about this song, but knew it immediately when it started. Love.
I agree that this is Sweet Comfort Band's best track! There are a number of other great tracks, but I do love this track. Thanks for sharing it!
I would love to see someone do a re-make of this song and make it heavier.
