The word militant is both an adjective and a noun, and is usually used to mean vigorously active, combative and aggressive, especially in support of a cause, as in 'militant reformers'. It comes from the 15th century Latin "militare" meaning "to serve as a soldier". The related modern concept of the militia as a defensive organization against invaders grew out of the Anglo-Saxon "fyrd". In times of crisis, the militiaman left his civilian duties and became a soldier until the emergency was over, when he returned to his civilian occupation and life.
However, the current meaning of militant does not usually refer to a registered soldier: it can be anyone who subscribes to the idea of using vigorous, sometimes extreme, activity to achieve an objective, usually political. For example, a "militant [political] activist" would be expected to be more confrontational and aggressive than an activist not described as militant.
Militance may or may not include physical violence, armed combat, terrorism, and the like. For example, the political Militant Tendency (later Militant Labour) published a newspaper, intervened in labour disputes, moved resolutions in political meetings, but was not based on violence, although some confrontations might lead to unarmed fighting. The purpose of the Christian Church Militant is to struggle against sin, the devil and "..the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Ephesians 6:12), but it is not a violent movement.

Plot: A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind and water. It is cold enough to crack stones, and, when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the warmer south, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing: just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless cannibalistic bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a rusting shopping cart of scavenged food--and each other.

--Dr. H--
Intempestiva tempera tentando la tormenta
Temporada de truenos y la presión aumenta
Y yo que soy un iluso vivo de mi ilusión
Soy un ilusionista en cada oración
Y estoy preso en mi Atalaya
Observando todos mis miedos
Lanzándome al vacío desde lo más interno
Cautivo entre melancolías hago parte de este lienzo.
De ocultos deseos que quiero cambiar e intento
El palacio el llanto construir con sonrisas
Desde que perdió su encanto no hubo más que trizas
Y me veo en los espejos y no hay sombra ni reflejo
Alucino en la Ilíada de un tal homero
Sin cumplir mi odisea y estoy cada vez más viejo
Buscando la panacea que me devuelva el silencio
Hallándole el sentido a todos mis sueños
Cantando mis verdades a los cuatro vientos
Gozando del amor junto Afrodita y Eros
Con la flecha dorada del caballero Aioros
Rompo este lienzo y encuentro lo que añoro
Estoy viviendo el sueño no hay otra realidad
Camino vivaz voraz hasta que descanse en paz
Tinta, esfero, beat no hay mas
Esta es la meta que siempre tracé
Porque desde niño quise...
--Coro--
Quise cambiar
Quise también volar
Quise soñar
Tuve que despertar
Pude cambiar
Pude también volar

--Militante--
Cierro los ojos voy en trance
Entro al éxtasis onírico, ya no voy metódico
Mi cuerpo se presta al inconsciente supersónico
Como en el túnel de Sábato
Oscuros callejones, siento que me están mirando
Y de repente aparece una figura mágica
Trágica mi suerte porque no puedo tocarla
Lo intento y ella me esquiva
Nunca se me ocurre que resulte nociva
Por fin la abrazo y descanso
Camino sin miedo y sin destino fijado
No sé su nombre, parezco distinguir su cara
No sé si es paz, felicidad, amor o esperanza
Siento que su presencia apacigua mis dudas, todo tiene sentido
Algo en mí quisiera estar por siempre dormido, ido
Despierto con total rabia
No sé si vuelva a verla, voy a extrañarla
Esos ojos que nunca me vieron, las palabras que espero
Vida puto encierro, solo hay vida en los sueños
No aceptaré el destierro
Seguiré pensando entonces como la encuentro.
Como, Je! cómo la encuentro?, busco el cómo...
--Coro--
