Lyrics:

I spent way too long 
Drinking til the bottles gone
I spent way too long...

I've Been guilty of bangin on the devil's drum
until there was nowhere to run
...So I run... Hit the wall...

I need some help baby
It's a long way to fall...

Man it takes a while
to make the fallen smile
Yeah it takes a while

I remember when
I had the pulse of seven men
who thought they could do anything
...then they hit the wall...

I need some help baby...

Guilty little swine is crawlin up my spine
So this could take some time...
Coupled hands in wine draggin us to the fire
but like a wrecking ball, We'll smash right through it all

Right out of hell baby
Right out of hell baby
Right out of hell baby

Part 5- Vlad III's Demise....

Matthias Corvinus ordered the Transylvanian Saxons to support Báthory's planned invasion of Wallachia on 6 September 1476, also informing them that Stephen of Moldavia would also invade Wallachia. Vlad stayed in Brașov and confirmed the commercial privileges of the local burghers in Wallachia on 7 October 1476. Báthory's forces captured Târgoviște on 8 November. Stephen of Moldavia and Vlad ceremoniously confirmed their alliance, and they occupied Bucharest, forcing Basarab Laiotă to seek refuge in the Ottoman Empire on 16 November. Vlad informed the merchants of Brașov about his victory, urging them to come to Wallachia. He was crowned before 26 November. 

Basarab Laiotă returned to Wallachia with Ottoman support, and Vlad died fighting against them in late December 1476 or early January 1477. In a letter written on 10 January 1477, Stephen III of Moldavia related that Vlad's Moldavian advisers had also been massacred. According to the "most reliable sources", Vlad's army of about 2,000 was cornered and destroyed by a Turkish-Basarab force of 4,000 near Snagov. The exact circumstances of his death are unclear. The Austrian chronicler Jacob Unrest stated that a disguised Turkish assassin murdered Vlad in his camp. In contrast, Russian statesman Fyodor Kuritsyn –who interviewed Vlad's family after his demise– reported that the voivode was mistaken for a Turk by his own troops during battle, causing them to attack and kill him. We chose the version of the assassin for our tale. 


Glorious thunder
Hooves, thousands
The horses of war

Pope Sixtus IV has called all forces
To defend again Christendom

A new coat of arms
Blackbird

A rarity of unity

Stephen the Great, Stephen Bathory
Dracula come together to
Overthrow the reigning prince of Wallachia

Basarab Laiota is siding with the Turks
He will be overthrown
Dracula will reign once more
This will not be for long

Stephen the Great attacks by East, 15,000
Dracula, Bathory attack by the south 35,000

The mistake was not killing Basarab
He rallied the troops and commanders
For a counterattack.

Dracula’s allies left him with an unsupported kingdom
This is what we, the enemies, have been waiting for
I am the hired assassin
There will be a ritual

My orders
Disguise as a servant
Attack him from behind
For all our tortured and impaled soldiers
Seven or more blows
For years he reigned in terror
And he will be quartered

Devils and Angels
Working by my side
As I see his dark, wavy hair
Red princely robes
At last I watch the blade penetrate his back

In the clearing in the forest
Near Bucharest
Left was the headless body
Found by the Monks
Blessed be the monks
They bury him in a monastery

I proudly ride back
With Dracula’s severed head
It will be displayed
On a high stake
At the gates of Constantinople
For the Sultan, myself,
And all my fellowmen

This is our final track of our Vlad series... Couldn't do a Vlad story without a little touch of the supernatural, so we created our own little story. 

My Ancestor’s Brutal Heart

We’d gather ‘round the spirit fire
Hypnotized by tales of old
Relatives would story tell for hours
Full moons, silver, blood, lust and the madness

I watch my younger self
Amidst Transylvanian countrysides
It’s so instinctive to shun the light
Darkness is where I’m drawn and
Will stay because I know I just belong

And at last when night falls
Before I go about the nocturnal life
I kneel down to
Honor our dead who sacrificed
For this country I can roam forever
Home because of my
Ancestor’s brutal heart.

Early on I discovered
I can shift into this creature
That hovers above castles
That still hold
Forbidden secrets

I can’t help but spin around
I call it my vampyric happiness
I’ll always relish when that
Otherworldly being bit me
And this is where the myth really ends
And the truth of my immortal life begins

CHORUS

Time is slow but Days
Still go by and by and
I notice when I pass, well, any mirror
I keep fading,
But I’m thrilled to report
Now I have no image
Has it been five years?
Another like me laughs
“Like five hundred”

I can’t help but spin around
I call it my vampyric happiness
I’ll always relish when
That otherworldly being bit me
This is where the myth really ends
And the truth of my immortal life begins

CHORUS

6. My Ancestor's Brutal Heart

Thank you for taking the time to read this commentary.
I purchased a bass guitar for many reasons. I used to be a bassist and I am looking forward to seeing what I can do with playing bass myself in the future. The only thing I actually play in this song is the last section, though. So, I wish you all a happy 2023.

When I Fall

My friend Caleb C. is on vocals in the verse.
Here are the lyrics:
The brightest minds are in our tribe of love
the childish rhymes of the masses are adored
the days we looked into the eyes of hope
the troubled times of yesteryear are gone

I bring you all on to the brink of hope
but when you grab the rope it's all gone
I tried to help you hear the rest of it
but the wicked side of you is too strong

tell us the secret of your life
turn around from your wicked ways
