Vlad the Impaler
Words and Music by Larry Moody/Tim Moody

Vlad Tepes was born in 1431
The Wallachian prince’s second eldest son
He was imprisoned and his father was slain
But his death would not go in vain
At seventeen he captured the throne
Two months later, defeated, he went home
8 yeas later he took back the crown
Putting his father’s murderer in the ground

Impaler, bringer of death torture your victims till their last breath
On stakes of wood they hang waiting for their blood to drain
Impaler, bringer of death torture your victims till their last breath
You see the pain in their eyes Praying to God to let them die

He killed the boyars of Tirgoviste in 59’
Some were impaled, some were just skinned alive
He fed the poor then set them aflame
No subject would be lazy or lame
He poisoned the wells in his own village
So invaders couldn’t plunder or pillage
He spent 13 years in a Jail Cell
1476 he was sent back to hell

Impaler, bringer of death torture your victims till their last breath
On stakes of wood they hang waiting for their blood to drain
Impaler, bringer of death torture your victims till their last breath
You see the pain in their eyes and you’ve never felt more alive

You will pay for what you have done to me
I’ll watch you die with pain and agony
You’ll bleed to death on the wooden stake
Then I’ll kill again just to celebrate

(Tim solo)
(Paul solo)

Impaler, bringer of death torture your victims till their last breath
On stakes of wood they hang waiting for their blood to drain
Impaler, bringer of death torture your victims till their last breath
You see the pain in their eyes Praying to God to let them die
