What if music for Heroes of Might and Magic III had been written in a 60s?

I made this cover a very, very long time ago using my MIDI keyboard. The problem was I had bad VSTs (at least, none that worked for me) and no band, no vocals of course. Shoutout to AI tech for finally giving me real instruments and vocals which I never saw in life.
Naturally, nothing compares to the mastery of maestro Paul Romero, but one can dream, right? I always wanted to hear Heroes III's main theme done in 60s fashion. Happy that I never deleted those MIDI files.

A huge thanks to Paul Romero and New World Computing—not just for the memories, but for giving us more than 20 years of amazing experience. One of the greatest games ever made, without a doubt.

Verse
Dragons soar wizards weep,
Castles rise where moonlight sleeps.
Knights in gold hearts so true,
Skeletons dance in the midnight dew.

Chorus
Castles in the sand, magic in our hands,
Heroes rise and fall, but the war still stands
In a world of might and magic lands!

Verse
Necromancer laughs his army near,
Angels sing demons leer.
Elves cast spells dwarves hide away,
In this world of night and day.

Bridge
Warlocks!
Witches!
Heroes foes!
All are players as the story goes!
Written in the stars - A Tale untold!
Of might and magic brave and bold!

Chorus
Castles in the sand, magic in our hands,
Heroes rise and fall, but the war still stands.
Through the ashes of time, we all play our parts,
In a world of might and magic lands!
