15th Century Battle
It was like a bounty hunter on the loose
And a victim of propaganda
The war goes on
More innocents are impaled
The shedding of blood
Victory of the voivode
Supreme ruler of Wallachia
Vows to seek revenge, to follow his father’s demise
The walls of the alliance formed
Persuaded as heir to the throne
Slavery condemned to the boyars
So begins the reign of terror
A powerful lord to a prisoner
A shadowy figure, stumbled by the stranger
A mourning moment, in the dawn of 1476
His body decapitated by the Turks
“The horrible Impaler is dead!”
He sleeps alone in the island monastery
And a victim of propaganda
The war goes on
More innocents are impaled
The shedding of blood
Victory of the voivode
Supreme ruler of Wallachia
Vows to seek revenge, to follow his father’s demise
The walls of the alliance formed
Persuaded as heir to the throne
Slavery condemned to the boyars
So begins the reign of terror
A powerful lord to a prisoner
A shadowy figure, stumbled by the stranger
A mourning moment, in the dawn of 1476
His body decapitated by the Turks
“The horrible Impaler is dead!”
He sleeps alone in the island monastery
