I stood upon the walls
Watching the waves crash below
The human tide had come
To wash away all before it
Like so many times before
Nothing had ever halted it
Nor slowed nor turned
An inevitable force
On a mindless path
Up they came without mercy
Reason gone madness their aim
To die by the thousands
Thrown back time and again
Each time getting nearer
Closer to their goal
To overtop the wall
Run free and wild
Raping and looting
Burning and pillaging
It is all they are and all they know
Nothing has stood before them
All crushed underfoot
Here they stand tested
For their coming I have awaited
My people stand with me
For there is no other choice
Fight or die is the simple fact
We slay them by the scores
No man untouched
Arrows and swords
Pikes and spears
Javelins and rocks
Using whatever at hand
We strike them down and throw them off
To reurn again in another rush
Finally the day draws to an end
The sight I behold so profound
Before they have vanquished
Slaughtered and maimed
But on this day they lick their wounds
And drag back their slain
They will not come again
For along with my friends
We have broken their back
Going back to whence they came
Driven from my home
By power and name
I will be remembered as cruel
And quite even insane
But my people love me to even this day
My name is but legend
To inspire fear and strike awe
But here I will always be known
For my feats of courage and wit
Saving my land from invaders and strife
I'm known as the Impaler
But you know me as someone else
Perhaps this name will strike a bell
Vlad Teppes or maybe not
There is one more
Vlad Dracul
