DUNGEONS OF WAR ©G. Whitman (BMI)

This song is written from the perspective of the Earth looking on as we tiny, temporal beings blow each other up – and the land and animals too!  Without taking a political side everyone can agree that war is a dungeon of pain and suffering, usually led by those behind the scenes who never get their own hands bloody…all for a crown, for the conquest…grown-up neighborhood bullies who take from others by force that which they cannot attain on their own merits…  “Dungeons of War” also takes a few biblical lines into the discussion, “this is the season to make plowshares from our swords” and also fits into the “Citadel of Cynosure” storyline as the battle that forces the Dreemurz and Rezistors to make the ultimate choice when the Affrage invade their domain. 

Sounds of This Song:

War Intro with lonely violin-sounding guitar, classical march into main song verse, 12-string in 5/4. Then a pounding from the heavy rock chorus, thundering guitar solo and another chorus leads to the middle lead over the 12-string. 2nd verse/chorus/lead/chorus and then a snappy, choppy end - with the foley (sound effects) going throughout...
