When Vlad was released from the Ottomans, He wandered around the bordering parts of Wallachia for eight years looking for support. It is known that during this time, he contacted his cousin Stephen the Great of Moldavia, who would help him in the future against the Turks when the latter became voivode of his country. He also learned various politico-military tactics.

Vlad eventually made it to Hungaria and was at the court of John Hunyadi, who, impressed by his knowledge of the Turks and his hatred of the Turkish Sultan Mehmed II, made Vlad defender of Transylvania with headquarters at Sibiu. In 1456, Hunyadi invaded Serbia, while Vlad simultaneously invaded Wallachia. He led his army through the Carpathians in June and by the end of July, Vladislav Danesti was killed in battle. According to legend, he was hacked to death in a hand-to-hand combat with Vlad Dracula. On August 22, 1456, Vlad was ruler in Tirgoviste.

The first thing he did when he took power was to take revenge on the murderers of his family. Early in his reign, he gave a feast for his boyars and their families to celebrate Easter. Since many of them had taken part in the conspiracy that led to the deaths of his father and elder brother, Vlad asked them how many voivodes had ruled during their lifetimes. All of the nobles said they had outlived several voivodes. The older boyars and their families were impaled on the spot, while the younger and healthier boyars were enslaved and forced to labor for months building Poenari Castle. Very few of them survived the ordeal.

One boyar, Albu cel Mare, was over-mighty and arrogant. He took the villages of Glodul and Hintea by force, and devastated the monastery of Govora. Vlad had him and his allies and relations, including small children, impaled. Of the 13 names of the boyars of the council of April 16, 1457, only 2 remained in February 10, 1461.

Our song opens with Vlad's 8 year journey.

New day, a war state, I’m ruling,
rulers change rules,
some clean house…

I played the enemy against each other so well
I have regained the Wallachian throne

complaints, protests from noblemen will be addressed
as well as loyalty

Then there’s that unending price
for the murder of my brother buried alive

I’ll invite them to feast at my table
What better day than Easter to take it to the next level

Now that I have them gathered around
I’ll ask a simple question
“How do you account in your land for so many princes, they come and
go and come and go and..”

They sit there with their arrogance
I’ll tell you why
Greed, intrigue, corruption

I’ll crush their nobility
They are all my future traitors
They know it and I know it

Lets talk about something we haven’t talked about……chains
Guards will wrap chains around those
Who didn’t take me seriously
“Guards, get them outta my sight”

Those who feasted, drank my wine
Will work for the kingdom
‘til they’re worn down and die

200 who are able
will help me rebuild the fortress
in the distance, you see it in the sky

Those not able
Will have blood runnin’ down wood
in the distance, you see bodies
hanging in the sky
I like it

a larger description ... I'm a home recorder.. bought a zoom r24 and I love it. got a bunch of guitars but the prs is the one .. some of the early stuff is on the strat but once I got the prs it's been my choice... not this but other tunes have the steel string yamaha. so basically my formula is take a drum beat most of the time and see what happens. I also have a yamaha organ that makes all kinds of sounds.

All In The Family

We hate, we love
we win, we lose
we tell lies
we tell the truth
we compromise
we improvise 
God knows we try...

We are
one family
one race
one Spirit

We fall short
we rise we fall
we're volatile
we scream and shout
we waste we save
we are born we die
we come and go
our souls remain eternal

We are
one family
one race
one Spirit

We'll see who reins
wisdom or insane
pleasure or pain

The soul remains
in spite of death
disease and pain
can't touch it
we donot want
to live in vain
there is no time to waste
the peaceful times
the violence
insanity or reason

We'll see who reins
wisdom or insane
pleasure or pain

The joys we seek
the life we live
kindness or hatred
illumination, elimination
consecration or damnation 
we all choose
what we want
savagery or sanctity
God knows we try...

Lies have consecuence 
truth needs no eloquence
love bares no incidents
no resemblance of hate
it is no coincidence

We are
one family
one race
one Spirit

We'll see who reins
wisdom or insane....?

One Family

IF I COULD FLY

Paul Hardy (baptised David Paul Frederick Hardy) (2 August 1862 near Bath, Somerset – 2 January 1942 Storrington, Sussex), was an English illustrator, best known for his regular illustrations in The Strand Magazine, his painting of Canterbury Pilgrims (1903) and for his drawings associated with the serials of the writer Samuel Walkey (1871–1953). Paul was the eldest child of David and Emily Hardy. Paul's father was also an artist, as was his grandfather James Hardy senior and his uncles James Hardy junior and Heywood Hardy, all from an old Yorkshire family. All Paul's siblings, Norman, Evelyn and Dorothy Hardy, were illustrators.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The name of the deity corresponds first to the common Germanic name of the "thunder", *þunraz. He is also found by name in the Gallic Taranis. A thunder god with an analogous name meets us in the Baltic Pērkons. The epithet of Iuppiter tonans is derived from the same Indo-European root (s)ten- "thunder, rush, roar, groan." A remarkable similarity, which could point to the remains of the common Indo-European religion, lies in the fact that the Celtic Taranis, as well as Iuppiter and the Greek Zeus, use as a weapon the stone thunderbolt, which was thrown from heaven to earth by the lightning bolt. Also the fight, which Indra led, is atmospherically represented by lightning and thunder. The New High German word Himmel possibly goes back to an Indo-Germanic word root meaning "stone" or "anvil".

From the Common Germanic *Þunraz it can be said (analogous to Zeus) that its thunder resembles the driving of a chariot over a vault (cf. Old English Þunorrād "thunder ride"). Lightning and thunder herald the approach of Thor in Norse mythology.

The day of the week Thursday (English Thursday, Danish/Swed. torsdag) is named after Donar or Thor. The day was consecrated already in the antiquity to the gods Zeus and/or Jupiter (Latin dies Iovis, from it also French jeudi, Romanian joi, Spanish jueves, Italian giovedì) and with the adoption of the originally Babylonian/Egyptian 7-day week by the Teutons the Latin term was copied.

Somos De La Raza Humana

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
somos una cosa
que no comprendes

Vamos todos juntos
hacia algun lugar
una zona misteriosa
donde ya no hay mal

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que vez
tu y yo fuimos hechos
a la misma vez

Donde vamos a buscar?
donde vamos a encontrar?
dime para donde vas
no me dejes esperar

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
dime si no somos
a la misma vez

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
tu y yo somos
a la misma vez

Somos de la raza humana
somos de la misma piel
somos de la raza humana
que no tiene color
solo tiene sabor

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
dime si no somos
a la misma vez

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
tu y yo somos
a la misma vez

Somos de la raza humana
somos de la misma piel
somos de la raza humana
que no tiene color
solo tiene sabor

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
somos una cosa
que no comprendes

Vamos todos juntos
hacia algun lugar
una zona misteriosa
donde ya no hay mal

Donde vamos a buscar?
donde vamos a encontrar?
dime para donde vas
no me dejes esperar

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
somos una cosa
que no comprendes

Somos de la raza humana
somos de la misma piel
somos de la raza humana
que no tiene color
solo tiene sabor

We Are Of The Human Race

Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see
we are something
you don't comprehend

We all go together
to some place
a mysterious zone
where evil is no more

Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see
you and I were made
at the same time

Where will we look?
where will we find?
tell me where're you're going
don't let me wait

Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see
tell me if we're not
at the same time

Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see
you and I are
at the same time

We are of the human race
we are of the same skin
we are of the human race
which doesn't have color
it only has flavor

Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see
tell me if we're not
at the same time

Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see

a mysterious zone
where evil is no more

Where will we look?
