EPIC Poetry - Immortal Prince

A prince by nature
Vlad the Impaler
Hero of the Carpathian Mountains
Master of Alchemy

Held captive as a young boy
by most hated enemies
he was finally ransomed
to return to a grateful land

Fighting for the people
Against Ottoman oppressors
Using unorthodox methods
Using the terror of the pike

Loved by Wallachia
Hated by the Turks
His cruelty knew no bounds
His blood thirst unsated

Imprisoned, freed,
Battle hungry, battle tested
Fighting for his land
Killed, immortal, to haunt again
