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

the alternative to silence... 
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....?

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

a mysterious zone
where evil is no more

you and I were made
at the same time

Where will we look?
where will we find?

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

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

UNREST IN THE GALAXY

Dear friends, we lived close to the Cherry Valley when we were young - and now we are going back!

Back to the Cherry Valley

We meet in the cherry valley clime where cherries bloom
there is grandfather and our dear grandmother too
the small kids are there , and also dogs who will find
that this place is full of joy
and let the party move on 
and let all kids - run free
this is a morning that is grand

The path to this wonderful place on earth
is so tricky and hard and the old people need
all help they can get, we maybe put them in a wheel-
barrow for the tough transport
and let the party move on 
and let all kids - run free
this is a morning that is grand

We will go there when the cherry trees bloom - - they are so cute
and the morning sun must shine and cast shadows that make
the view magical - - it is a wonderful moment
for the generations to meet 
and let the party move on 
and let all kids - run free
this is a morning that is grand


Lyrics in Swedish:
Tillbaka till Körsbärsdalen

Vi möts i körsbärsdalen där körsbär blommar
där finns farfar och vår kära mormor också
de små barnen är där, och även hundar som kommer att finna
att denna plats är full av glädje
och låt festen gå vidare
och låt alla barn springa fritt
det här är en morgon som är magnifik

Vägen till denna underbara plats på jorden
är så knepig och svår och de gamla behöver
all hjälp de kan få, vi kanske sätter dem i ett skott-
kärra för den tuffa transporten
Och låt festen gå vidare
och låt alla barn springa fritt
det här är en morgon som är magnifik

Vi åker dit när körsbärsträden blommar - - de är så söta
och morgonsolen måste skina och kasta skuggor som gör
utsikten magisk - - det är ett underbart ögonblick
för generationerna att mötas
och låt festen gå vidare
och låt alla barn springa fritt
det här är en morgon som är magnifik

Fade

(No GenAI used - My voice + Vst instruments)
J'ai écrit cette chanson en pensant à certains lanceurs d'alerte visionnaires et courageux dans notre histoire qui se sont battus et continuent  de se battre, souvent seuls au début, jamais dans leur intérêt mais pour un monde meilleur, quitte à chambouler leur vie à jamais
--------

J'ai marché loin des cartes
Et j'ai vu des choses qui n’existent pas encore
Des lumières dans la nuit, des arbres vieux qui chantent
Et la vie qui disait merci

Mes mots tombent, sans écho 
Tu regardes ailleurs, isolé dans tes écrans
Je trace des cercles dans le sable rouge de mon sang
Des idées debout dans un monde qui dort

J'ouvre les yeux, je suis seul sur Mars
J'entends mon cri dans le casque
Qui s'éteint dans un vide infini

J'ai pris la route sous un ciel sans phare
Cherchant l'esprit derrière le masque
Rien n'est écrit

Je grave des poèmes sur des vitres givrées
Quand tout est figé, exilé dans ma capsule 
Des mots laissés pour ceux qui pourraient me trouver 
Espérant qu’un jour, ils feront le détour

J'ouvre les yeux, je suis seul sur Mars 
J'entends mon cri dans le casque
Qui s'éteint dans un vide infini 

J'ai pris la route sous un ciel sans phare

Et personne ne croit
Le monde que je vois
Mon rêve et ma voix

Et c'est ici que je vis
(Et personne ne croit) 
Vis seul sur Mars
(Le monde que je vois)
Dans mon esprit
(Mon rêve et ma voix)

Et c'est ici que je vis
(Et personne ne croit) 
Seul sur Mars
(Le monde que je vois)
Dans mon esprit
(Mon rêve et ma voix)

Et personne ne croit 
Le monde que je vois
Mon rêve et ma voix

-----
I walked away from maps
And saw things that don't exist yet
Lights in the night, old trees singing
And life saying thank you

My words fall, without echo 
You look elsewhere, isolated in your screens
I draw circles in the sand, red with my blood
Ideas standing in a sleeping world

I open my eyes, I'm alone on Mars
I hear my cry in the helmet
Fading into an infinite void

I hit the road under a lighthouse-less sky
Searching for the spirit behind the mask
Nothing is written

I engrave poems on frosted glass
When everything is frozen, exiled in my capsule 
Words left for those who might find me 
Hoping that one day, they'll make the detour

I open my eyes, I'm alone on Mars 
I hear my cry in the helmet
Fading into an infinite void

I hit the road under a lighthouse-less sky

And no one believes 
The world I see
My dream and my voice

And this is where I live
(And nobody believes) 
Live alone on Mars
(The world I see)
In my mind
(My dream and my voice)

And this is where I live
(And nobody believes) 
Alone on Mars
(The world I see)
In my mind
(My dream and my voice)

And nobody believes 
The world I see
My dream and my voice

Seul sur Mars

Amie si j'avais su
Qu'on ne se verrait plus
Que ce moment passé
Était le dernier
J'aurais pu dire
Ce que tu inspires
À mon âme voilée
Ou rien mais faire au moins
Un signe de la main

Si des fois tu me vois
Sous le ciel étoilé
Rêvant à qui à quoi
Errant de mon côté
Tu sais sans doute
Que je pense à toi
Sur les chemins les routes
Que je guette de loin
Un signe de la main

Un signe (Tom Régnier/Alexis Roche)
