[00:06.17]”My son, ask for thyself another Kingdom
[00:09.69]For that which I leave is too small for thee”
[01:56.61]Near to the east
[01:57.92]In a part of ancient Greece
[01:59.92]In an ancient land called Macedonia
[02:04.32]Was born a son
[02:06.31]To Philip of Macedon
[02:08.99]The legend his name was Alexander
[02:13.37]At the age of nineteen
[02:15.26]He became the Macedon King
[02:17.64]And he swore to free all of Asia Minor
[02:21.61]By the Aegian Sea, in 334 B.C.
[02:25.48]He utterly beat the armies of Persia
[02:30.42]Alexander the Great
[02:34.42]His name struck fear into hearts of men
[02:38.44]Alexander the Great
[02:42.74]Became a legend ‘mongst mortal men
[03:03.71]King Darius the third
[03:05.36]Defeated fled Persia
[03:07.78]The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes
[03:12.04]Then Egypt fell to the Macedon King as well
[03:16.37]And he founded the city called Alexandria
[03:20.76]By the Tigris river
[03:22.59]He met King Darius again
[03:24.53]And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela
[03:28.86]Entering Babylon
[03:30.87]And Susa, treasures he found
[03:32.85]Took Persepolis the capital of Persia
[03:37.86]Alexander the Great
[03:41.01]His name struck fear into hearts of men
[03:45.57]Alexander the Great
[03:49.54]Became a God amongst mortal men
[07:10.31]A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke
[07:12.47]And Alexander cut the “Gordian Knot”
[07:13.95]And legend said that who untied the knot
[07:15.62]He would become the master of Asia
[07:17.90]Helonism he spread far and wide
[07:19.95]The Macedonian learned mind
[07:22.22]Their culture was a western way of life
[07:24.47]He paved the way for Christianity
[07:27.42]Marching on, marching on
[07:34.77]The battle weary marching side by side
[07:36.79]Alexander’s army line by line
[07:38.99]They wouldn’t follow him to India
[07:41.48]Tired of the combat, pain and the glory
[07:43.40]Alexander the Great
[07:46.83]His name struck fear into hearts of men
[07:51.32]Alexander the Great
[07:55.82]He died of fever in Babylon
