Full performance
“Vlad The Impaler” (1998)
Music & Lyrics by Geoff Shell
Dracula was not a vampire
he was a cruel tyrant
a sadistic murderer
who loved impalement
Second son of Dracul
second son of the devil
titled Vlad the III
otherwise Vlad the Impaler
A fierce warrior
hard to tell which side he was on
between eastern and western empires
he killed everyone
His victims were his own people
and hapless travelers too
thought they were all spies
so he impaled them as they passed through
Vlad the Impaler
burnt the whole country
impaled them all
without mercy
[x4 ]
Massacre carried out by his order
didn’t affect his appetite
he’d eat in front of impalements
and he’d love the sight
Impaling wasn’t his only pleasure
he also enjoyed beheading
torture and brutalization
and even roasting
Once he called together
400 foreign students still learning
gathered them in one room
and burnt down the whole building
When Vlad the Impaler died
his head was taken to the Turkish sultan
he impaled it on a stake
true retaliation
Vlad the Impaler
burnt the whole country
impaled them all
without mercy
[x4]
