The Chalice in the Square

from Sic Semper Tyrannis by WARHAWK

/

lyrics

In a far off land
Where Muhammed meets the Lord
A prince is born of blood
To live a life of scorn

Many have since walked in his ways
He's carved such a path that one could walk for days
His name is the son, the son of the snake
Vlad is his name, the sire of the stake

With the heat of hell burning in his veins
He shall impale, the grass will be stained

Condemned to be raised by the whip of the Turks
So his father could appease a people of no worth
Little does he know that when he dies
His son shall return to a trumpet's call of cries

With the heat of hell burning in his veins
He shall impale, the grass will be stained
With the blood of all who dare oppose him
Son of blood, bringer of woes

So many terrors one could tell
Of just what happened when Vlad returned from hell
From a grail to a stake, I'd rather die
Before I'd eat with him, let me tell you why

He loves the smell of death when he dines
But don't complain, he'll see it as a sign
Oh how generous he is to your pleas
Holding you to a higher standard for all to sea

Opening doors to the poor
Bring them in from the cold
Asking if they're hungry
Wait until they're sold
Leave them behind
With deprived, empty eyes
Feeding them flames
Go along with the cries

Enchant the town square with a chalice most high
Ripe for the taking if you dare try
Even kings are amazed at what they see
That Tepes' blood terror can even overcome greed

No matter how fatal his terror could be
He still succumbed to the will of mortality
No one knows just how he fell
Fallen in battle or swallowed up in hell
Either fucking way, he's dead as shit
And he's given me some rhymes I can spit
So the name of the devil might not be forgotten
Here's to the Impaler wherever he's rotting
