Positive Comments: I admire a great history song and this one is very well written and executed. I am not sure which battle it’s describing, but it’s original and hard-hitting, especially the reference to Satan laughing over the debacle and dead bodies. My favorite rhyme: dust/cussed. The melody, written in a minor key, suits the lyrics perfectly. The riffs played by the guitar are memorable. The guitar work gets 5 stars. Sounds fantastic.
Constructive Comments: Way, way too long. 1:08 introduction…unless you are setting something up for a movie, I don’t think this will fly. This song reminded me of a bible verse: the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. When will we ever learn? Keep up the good writing. You have a gift. Maybe someday I’ll write a history song!
