Vlad III or (Vlad Tepes) was born in 1431 in Sighisoara as the second of four brothers born into the noble family of Vlad II Dracul. After his father’s induction into the Order of the Dragon, created by Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund for the defense of Christian Europe against the Ottoman Empire, Vlad moved to Târgoviște, Walachia, in 1436 where his father assumed leadership of the Wallachian Voivode. Throughout his younger days, Vlad and his brothers were highly educated and as they grew older were taught how to strategize and fight.

In 1442, the Ottomans called for a diplomatic meeting and invited Vlad Dracul. He saw an opportunity to educate his younger sons in the art of diplomacy so he brought Vlad III and Radu with him. But Dracul and his two sons were captured and held hostage by the Ottoman diplomats instead. The captors told him that he would be released — but he had to leave his sons. Dracul, believing it was the safest option for his family, agreed. Fortunately for Vlad III and his brother, during their time as hostages, the two princes received lessons in science, philosophy, and the art of war.

However, things were far worse back home. A coup orchestrated by local warlords — known as the boyar — overthrew Dracul. In 1447, he was killed in the swamps behind his home while his oldest son was tortured, blinded, and buried alive.

Vlad III was freed soon after his family’s death, and at this time he began to use the name Vlad Dracula, meaning son of the dragon.  His brother Radu swore allegiance to the Ottomans and stayed. Vlad swore vengeance on the ones responsible for his father and brother’s death and began his journey back home to claim the thrown.

Lyrics:
This is our land
My Father Prince of Wallachia
And here, it’s name, family, honor
And we fight to protect
And protect to fight

Let me tell you about my glorious upbringing
You shoulda seen me
Riding those Arabian horses,
Sword in hand at breakneck speeds
Speaking a few languages and a dead one
Science, the art of combat
Magnificent things

Our enemies keep movin' in and movin' in
Around our home

A choice made for a truce, an alliance
With the Ottoman
To keep our rightful throne

Sultan thought we betrayed the alliance
Sultan invited father and us down for a visit
Tricked like a deaf, dumb, blinded beggar
We got to the court
We were all imprisoned
Father set free, me and brother kept as bargains
But my father was in the order of the dragon
To defend against heretics
From Hungary comes the white knight
Who wanted help with the heretics
Father said yes...
Sultan was betrayed again...
For a crusade for Christianity…

Battle lost, men defeated, blood and debris
White Knight tried to salvage the honor left
Do you know what that White Knight did?
He tried to seize Wallachia
Noblemen killed my father, mother and older brother

I’m still captive in the Ottoman Empire
Sometimes in a dungeon, sometimes tortured
From my window
All I see are executions
My brother took lovers, sided with the Sultan
This happened because
the Ottoman can bargain
It’s still about the land
But it’s all about revenge
I am diamond hard
Will let everyone trust me
And let the Ottoman
Keep teaching me, teaching me
Magnificent things

This is a collaboration between myself and awesome singer songwriter Annie Ray @annie-ray-music . I originally developed this as an instrumental and approached Annie pretty late in the day to develop lyrics and a vocal track, Annie rose to the challenge and delivered this beautifully ethereal vocal performance. Thankyou Annie for finding the words!

Lyrics:

Stars reach for the moon
Never too soon
Dreams woven into one
Looking to the sun
Effortlessly suspended
In space and time
Elegantly surrender
To cosmic sublime

Dreams woven into one
Looking to the sun

Elegantly surrender
To cosmic sublime
All connected in silence
Invisible luminance
Dreams woven into one
Looking to the sun

Stars reach for the moon
Never too soon

■概要(overview)
どこかから懐かしい匂いがしました
・・という曲です。

I smelled nostalgic from somewhere
It's a song called ...

最近はボーカロイドばかりです。練習です。
Recently, I only use Vocaloid.It's practice.

■歌詞
「懐かしいにおい」
なつかしい　においに　気が付いたある朝
なんだったかしら　思い出せないわ

そうね　例えば　なつかしい　音楽は
私をあの日に連れて行ってくれるけど

少しだけ　甘くて　まくらに　
顔を　うずめたくなる　ような　なつかしい　におい



めざまし　時計が　なる前に
思い出したいわ　なつかしいにおい

そうね　例えば　忘れてた　音楽ね
私を懐かしいあの日に連れて行ゆくメロディー

もう二度と　戻れない　あの頃に
ここに　おいでと誘う　ような　なつかしい　におい

■Lyrics (Google Translate)
"Nostalgic smell"
One morning when I noticed a nostalgic smell
I wonder what it was, I can't remember

Well, for example, nostalgic music
Will take me that day

It's a little sweet and I feel like I want to lie down on my pillow
Nostalgic smell


I want to remember before the alarm clock rings. What is the nostalgic smell?

Well, for example, the music I forgot.
The melody that takes me to that nostalgic day

I can't go back again at that time
A nostalgic scent that invites me to come here

Lyrics:

Time to brainstorm
So let’s press start to work
On games
Even more fun
Than pressing start to play
For us

We work hard now so you press start to play
Someday
When it’s ready, we'll be sure to tell you first
You can playtest

Thank you so much for encouraging us 
in this endeavour
You don’t realise how much your interest means 
To me, a creator

I can't wait till I have more time to code
Trying to finish the mini game mode
Always seems like there's so much more to do
Just so that one day, you can all press play

Making adventure games like it's the mid 90s
The world does always need more good stories
And I hope that I can contribute a few
I hope that I can add something of value

All the backgrounds finally finished, I’ll add them to the game
All the characters are finished, I’ll add them to the game
Something’s wrong, I’ve got to fix it
Another bug, created more bugs!
(More bugs!)
But I’ll get through this nonsense

All the dialogue is written…
That took us years,
That took us years,
That took us years,
That took us years, 
But it will not be in vain

You'd also be shocked at how long this took us all in all
To get even halfway
But it will all be worth it in the end, 
When the players press play!

Brainstorming time, 
Brainstorming time, 
Brainstorming time, 
Brainstorming time

Let’s get to work
And make this game,
Come on, my team -
You’re all so great!

Time to brainstorm
So let’s press start to work
On games
Even more fun
Than pressing start to play
For us

We work hard now so you press start to play
Someday
When it’s ready, we'll be sure to tell you first
You can playtest

It’ll all be worth it in the end, 
When the players press play!

Press Start To Work!

First off, I would like to thank you for taking the time to stop by and listen to my music. I’m very open to comments and any suggestions you may have. Just knowing you took a listen to my music makes it all worth it to me. Feel free to like and repost if you find anything you like. I am also open to collabs with any genre.

I am just a small-town guitarist with a great love for music of any kind. 80’s Hard Rock and Metal are my first love, but I have been influenced by several different genres of music from Classic Country to Hip Hop. Some of my favorite bands are: Kiss, Led Zepplin, AC/DC, CCR, Black Sabbath, Megadeth & Metallica to name a few, but currently I enjoy bands such as: Nightwish, Lacuna Coil & The Dark Element .
