Order of the dragon

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

(Solo: Frank, Cavey)

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
