    From the stunning poem by H.S. Mitchell comes a song so passionate that to listen to it both awakens the soul and grips it. Soaring piano, cello, strings, drums, fretless bass, complicated progressions, and the gut-wrenching heart aching lead guitar, played by Mark Skipper cap off this true masterpiece of a song. THIS SONG represents the first collaborative combination of Lana J. Albert and Damien Project. Intricate in layering, expert sound, and true emotions, Mark adds a depth to Battlefield to with a parallel can scarcely be found. We look forward to much more!! To read H.S. Mitchell's poem, you may click on the song title.

    Story Behind the Song
    BATTLEFIELD
    H. S. Mitchell

    a bridge has been built
    that spans the chasm
    between what is realized
    and what is known
    a strategic necessity
    to get to the land
    where poems are found

    soldiers of misfortune
    and prisoners of war
    looking for escape
    wait on the other side
    when the bridge-keeper
    sleeps, they cross
    with the imperceptible
    creaking of uneasy dreams,
    sneak into consciousness
    with the cover of morning fog

    days spent hiding in the trenches
    between surface thoughts
    waiting each night
    for reinforcements to come
    patient with the knowledge
    of an enemy unaware

    trenches full, courage high
    the army of the suppressed
    begin their battle cry
    startled, the keeper runs
    to the arsenal of rational thought
    confused and overwhelmed
    when all the weapons jam
    outnumbered and out-voiced
    retreat to the place where
    sanity is shielded, the only option

    outside the bunker
    a one-sided war rages on
    violent explosions of anger
    wailing sirens of unchained sadness
    machine gun fire of accusations

    inside the bunker, walls trembling
    the keeper sits on a bare cement floor
    rocking to the rhythm of thunder
    as battalions of pain
    march across the bridge
