    This was a beautiful song back in the 1970. Our soldiers loved this song when they were in Vietnam.
    Welcome Home soldiers. Sorry you had to be in a war that shouldn't have happened.

    The words of this song are so historically true; Kingdoms are made and destroyed by greed and lust for power and control.

  • @MarkMaysey
    @MarkMaysey 14 лет назад +3

    I agree, I like this version better than Coven, it's not as much in your face, which is where a song about PEACE needs to be. I guess that's why people like my humble cover of it and will share here with you if you don't mind. Thanks for sharing this! Mark

    @rockandrollrob61 5 лет назад +1

    I have heard about 5 versions of this song, including the original ( Original Caste ) and the remake by Coven, those two versions are head and shoulders above all the others including this one, the music is good but the vocals need a lot of work... Just my honest opinion here.

  • @MikeHolmes4
    @MikeHolmes4 13 лет назад

    This is not the greatest version of this song. It is a good version but it lacks the desperation that the original had. Yeah this is not that good.
