Alternative Lyrics to Well Known Songs 20 - Vlad the Impaler

Prince Vlad of Wallachia was one of the many regional heroes from the Balkans who stood up for their country against the invading Ottoman-Turkic army during the Medieval period.  A period which is more often remembered in mainstream Western culture as the period of the 'Western Crusades against the Muslim world' rather than vice-versa.  He is also remembered for his acts of barbarity, although the acts of barbarity committed by the invading Turks are conveniently forgotten by Politically Correct elite in the West.  Whether one considers his cruelty against the Turks as excessive or not, the important point to consider is that they worked.  Physical force works, and for that reason it should never be discarded as a means of resolving conflict.  Alexander broke the Gordian knot using force, Magni has/is/will kill Nidhoggr the dragon using force, the Berlin wall was taken down using force, mosquito infested Venice was drained using force.  Physical force is useful and thus should not be discarded for Christian-style turning the other cheek, or Ghandi-style soul-force, or Occupy Wall Street-style peaceful-protesting; because meekness will not help you against certain foes, only physical force will.

On a completely different note, although this song kind portrays Vlad as a Romanian national hero I'm not 100% certain that this is how the Romanian people themselves view him.  During the 1970s the Communist rulers elevated Vlad to the status of National hero (building statues, making films, and putting him on a postage stamp).  But that is the opinion of the rulers rather than the people themselves.  Alas it's quite tricky to find any modern first hand opinions of Vlad from Romanians themselves, so I've been forced to quote some second hand opinions which were from foreigners living in Romania:
In Romania, Dracula is seen in two ways. One view is of a mishmash caricature of history and fiction which serves as a generator of tourist dollars. The other view is of a national hero who fought to preserve Romanian identity and independence.
And the second:
Ask a modern Romanian today what they think of Vlad Tepes and they will answer that he was a man to be feared, yet respected. He protected their religion and kept a dangerous enemy from their gates

Without further ado let's move on to the song itself.
