In 1476 A.D. to the south of Bucharest A victory is overshadowed Mistaken for a foe Vlad Tepes died ruler of Wallacia Never did they mourn him more Gazing at the red dawn Final victory defeated the Turks Always looking to the sun Order of the Dragon
Hear the sound of steel collide Wounded soldiers lay side by side Armour gleams and maces clash Screams of horror the Prince is dead
In 1431 Vlad's father was sworn in In the Order of the dragon he would serve But years passed by and his father's thoughts ran stray In 1447 he was murdered by John Hunyadi
At age 15 the prince was captured led in chains To Constantinople the prison hoard Tortured by the Turks it came to him one day That fear would conquer all who stood in his way As a man and a god did devise As he promised never to fight They took from him his mortal soul Fighting them would bring him peace Toppling his foes' As he voyaged to his home land far To the land of Transylvania Riding on to his homeland he strived In harms way he never knew why In a jail he rotted alone Never to seize the throne It took 12 years before he would be set free But first had to denounce all that he believed As his victims screamed and cried In a brutal and savage plight Dining while impaling all his foes The smell of death corrodes impaling them slow
As the war raged on and darkness fell The battle hardened would never fail The outskirts displayed a warning to all An impaled army on the setting sun As the Turkish army came passing by Their leader faltered sent them marching home

Fighting so valiantly Minutes from victory Savagely grinding in Balance the scales have leaned Maces and swords flow free Like raging winds howl and scream Glory within their grasp As blood flows staining the grass The fallen Prince lay still Breathing his last breath chilled Mistaken for a foe Slashed by an allies sword Knowing his time is up Dazed as he gurgles blood At all costs we have won His eyes gaze to the dawn Forever Immortal Closing his eyes once more Never to wake again Rest in peace now my friend
