“Alexander The Great”
“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 [Chorus:] 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 [Chorus:]
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 Hellenism 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
