Alexander the Great (356-323 B.C) - [1998 Remastered Edition]

'My son ask for thyself another
Kingdom, for that which I leave

is too small for thee'
(King Philip of Macedonia - 339 B.C.)
Near to the east
In a part of ancient Greece

In an ancient land called Macedonia
Was born a son
To Philip of Macedon
The legend his name was Alexander

At the age of nineteen
He became the Macedon King
And he swore to free all of Asia Minor
By the Aegian Sea

In 334 B.C.
He utterly beat the armies of Persia
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men

Alexander the Great
Became a legend 'mongst mortal men
King Darius the third
Defeated fled Persia

The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes
Then Egypt fell to the Macedon King as well
And he founded the city called Alexandria
By the Tigris river

He met King Darius again
And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela
Entering Babylon
And Susa, treasures he found

Took Persepolis the capital of Persia
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great

Became a God amongst mortal men

A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke
And Alexander cut the 'Gordian knot'
And legend said that who untied the knot
He would become the master of Asia

Helonism he spread far and wide
The Macedonian learned mind
Their culture was a western way of life
He paved the way for Christianity
Marching on, marching on
The battle weary marching side by side
Alexander's army line by line
They wouldn't follow him to India
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
He died of fever in Babylon
