ALEXANDER THE
GREAT
"My son, ask
for thyself another kingdom,
For
that which I leave is to 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 Alexander.
At the age of
nineteen, he became the Macedon king,
And swore to
free all of Asia Minor,
By the Aegian
Sea in 334 BC,
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 "Gordion 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.
