This write is based on vlad tepes (pronounced tse-pesh) In his time ruling Wallachia in the mid 15th century he was know to have killed, mainly by method of impaling, 40,000 to 100,000 people.
The word Tepes stands for ‘impaler’ and was so coined because of Vlads propensity to punish victims by impaling them on stakes and displaying them publicly. An army coming to invade his land actually turned away at the sight that lay before them in battle…thousands of people impaled on stakes and the smell unbearable….
It is believed the character of Dracula in Brams Stokers novel was based upon Vlad Tepes..


Swimming through a pool of disease, wretched bones and

Torn up flesh…

Lead me to my home place Transylvania,

the place of Vlad Tepes



Mercy has no meaning here,

as the dark night she calls,

The souls of the slaughtered…

the thieves, the cheats and the whores



Blood flows like water through this land in which I reign..

Heavily...with a smell of death, welcoming you..

The impaled.

no doubt... the impaled, I thought I read somewhere, were to be alive when posted, though impaled, and to die by means of their own body weight, by force of gravity, pulling them further down the impaling pole.... sounds wonderfully wicked... Vlad lives o

i thought history research proved, he WAS the fabled dracula, vlad tepes dracul (was his full name). could be wrong, school is a blur to me. other than that, loved the violent imagery, it always keeps my attention.
