Lost Kid © by CITADEL ®
You sit and you stare out the window, you’re stoned again
Looking for someone to show you your home again…
…”just walk up to the policeman and tell him your name, you give him your address and you get no blame, you get to ride home and the sirens are on, there’s hands in a pocket that doesn’t let go – and you know
You gotta get to the other side again!

You set and you stare out the window, you’re alone again
Waiting for music to show your home again…

We think it’s time to blow open the door!
Arrive with conclusions, we’ll need nothing more!
One day in the meadow and all sirens are on, break out of that pocket that doesn’t let go –

And you know
You’re gonna get to the other side again!

This CITADEL video features the Whitman's with Fletcher Hutchison on drums, C. Whitman, R. Culverson and D. George and was filmed in German Village, Ohio. From The DVD Release "Citadel Qubed" available at www.citadelsongs.com - …getting lost usually means you finding yourself again by breaking through to the other side of your mind and your circumstances. This mirrors the struggle of so many free spirits who see no logic in hate or war or entrapments or polarities or extremes or..

This song speaks to the trapped soul, with metaphors of what we're told to do if we get 'lost' as a child, we can see the relevancy in that wisdom even when we're not kids anymore. The main point is that getting to the other side isn't impossible - even when we are lost in life's struggles - some of us rely on good music to 'get to the other side again'  less

DUNGEONS OF WAR ©G. Whitman (BMI)
I have seen the faces of eyes that have turned to walk away,
a trembling hand upon the hilt
the skies of blue turn to a dismal grey
Many feet in a foreign land
many   more...banners raised
This I’ve seen, and shall see again, unless the faults of mankind are erased!

Away from the Dungeons (of War) where the fire falls like rain!
And how many lives are spent in a mask of flaming pain?
In need of a reason they shall stain the sinner’s sword
With futile hopes of gaining a crown as the ‘just’ reward

(Lead – Chorus 1 Repeat)

Tears are shed over brothers lost
half a man never feels the same
The hands still clean of the men behind the scenes
of satan’s games
I have seen the faces of those who’ll never really walk away
Empty Stares, a bleeding heart, and vengeance stored ‘till the final day

Away from the Dungeons (of War) where the innocent are slain!
And how many lives are spent in a daze of placing blame?
This is the season to make plowshares from our swords
With future hopes of gaining peace as the ‘just’ reward

(Lead – Chorus 2 Repeat)

About:
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...  less

Sounds of This Song:
After the Third World War © CITADEL ®
A slight departure for the typically prog-rock band CITADEL® Non stop crunch, growl and pounding guitars, bass, keys and drums. Odd-scaled lead break and haunting double harmony vocals. Metal/hard rock straight on warning about the dangers facing us in the nuclear race…

After the Third World War © CITADEL ®
Lyrics and music by G. Whitman (BMI)

Fortunes gone and Legends passed
Locked inside, your soul caresses
emotions felt but not revealed
Hearts are hungry but lips are sealed

Come look past the third world war
Hear the screams behind the door
Restless passion evermore
sealed beneath with Freedom's roar
Telling you what wrongs were done
Showing you a covered sun

[Novelette excerpt: Antel’s dream then shifts to a giant cave. He is among thousands of faceless figures that are migrating towards a giant fire and feeding it with a pungent kindling.]

Mutants pass with eyes of fire
Motions insist submerged desire
Bearing flasks of decaying dead
Traitors burned and Zalar fed

Slaves that kneal with involution
Receiving charge of restitution
Building what will be destroyed
Chained to this forbidden void

Come look past the Third World War
Hear the screams behind the door
Restless passion evermore
sealed beneath with Freedom's roar
Telling you what wrongs were done
Showing you the covered sun

[Novelette excerpt: The leaping flames blacken the cave walls and thick smoke billows through the caverns, then Antel's dream merges into a brown-red sky, bulging with clouds of fire over his homeland of Astai.]

Radiation takes it's toll
on melted beings with brainwashed souls
Ageless shapes seep from swampy fosse
Remains of perfection forever lost

Come look past the Third World War
Hear the screams behind the door
Restless passion evermore
sealed beneath with Freedom's roar
Telling you what wrongs were done
Showing you the covered sun

Winter's Dying © CITADEL ®

Winter's dying
I can feel the cold though
Songs are sighing
Days and dream are hard to hold

Lost Dreams
Lost Treasures
Simple times of foolish pleasures
Broken rhymes
Scattered measures
Stuck inside such dormant leisure

Lost Dreams
Stolen Vision
Falling over small decisions
Careless words
A deep incision
Causing us to lose position

Winter's dying
Knowing what we're told is true
Spirit's flying high
While melodies are bought and sold

New Dreams
New Treasures
End the times of foolish pleasure
Open Minds
Moral Measures
Substitute complacent leisure

Spring Dreams
Summer Visions
Confident in all decisions
Careful words
Heal incisions
Giving love a new position

A new position
