That's pretty good. But unless you're just going for some background music intended to be played at a low volume, I do have a suggestion; Use alot less variation. The melody changes so much you can't make out any set patterns. For example, in triumph, at 0:16, there's this great guitar riff that comes in, but stops after a few seconds and never comes back. I wanted to hear more of that riff. If it helps, you could compose like I do; instead of writing from start to finish, start by writing a chorus, then expand the rest of the song from there.

Other than that, keep up the good work!

Sounds good! I personally like the changing melody. It flowed pretty smoothly, given what I've heard out there with changing melodies against a new chord progression.
