Alexander the Great

"My son ask for Thyself another Kingdom, for that which I leave

is too small for Thee"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 AlexanderAt the age of nineteen he became the Macedon King

And he swore to free all of Asia Minor

By the Aegean Sea in three thirty four B.C.

He utterly beat the armies of PersiaAlexander the Great

His name struck fear into hearts of men

Alexander the Great

Became a legend amongst mortal menKing 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 AlexandriaBy the Tigris river, he met King Darius again

And crushed him again at the battle of Arbela

Entered Babylon and Susa, treasures he found

Took Persepolis, the capital of PersiaAlexander the Great

His name struck fear into hearts of men

Alexander the Great

Became a God amongst mortal menPhrygian 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'Hedonism, 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 onThe 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 gloryAlexander the Great

His name struck fear into hearts of men

Alexander the Great

He died of fever in Babylon
