Impaling they taught me – Impaling they got! Behold the ottomans’ foe A Transylvanian voivod They called him the son of a dragon Or even son of Lucifer The impaler! Spreading fear everywhere Loathed and deified Temptation untied Who am I to defy what is lurking inside? OBEY – The holy pale The root of a thousand tales Welcome to my never-ending nightmare I’ve seen what should never meet The eyes of a child Just like my idol before me I swore revenge that wouldn’t be mild Time and again I managed to tread The path of the plain with kingly pride My triumph! Then again… whose defeat? Who can define The razor-thin line Where madness and genius entwine? OBEY – The holy pale The root of a thousand tales Welcome to my never-ending nightmare Through all these years I felt the joke’s on me A little turnabout won’t kill No more shall poison take what’s meant to be A slave to sanity no more But a master of will His legacy remained through centuries Now meets its rightful heir This time I’ll make it plain for all to see My weakened soul has gone But a legend reborn! OBEY – The holy pale The root of a thousand tales Welcome to my never-ending nightmare NIGHTMARE! NIGHTMARE! NIGHTMARE!
