[length: 08:36]
[00:06.15]”My son, ask for thyself another Kingdom
[00:09.64]For that which I leave is too small for thee”
[01:56.61]Near to the east
[01:57.97]In a part of ancient Greece
[01:59.91]In an ancient land called Macedonia
[02:04.37]Was born a son
[02:06.34]To Philip of Macedon
[02:08.98]The legend his name was Alexander
[02:13.32]At the age of nineteen
[02:15.24]He became the Macedon King
[02:17.62]And he swore to free all of Asia Minor
[02:21.61]By the Aegian Sea, in 334 B.C.
[02:25.47]He utterly beat the armies of Persia
[02:30.47]Alexander the Great
[02:34.45]His name struck fear into hearts of men
[02:38.41]Alexander the Great
[02:42.77]Became a legend ‘mongst mortal men
[03:03.72]King Darius the third
[03:05.40]Defeated fled Persia
[03:07.73]The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes
[03:12.03]Then Egypt fell to the Macedon King as well
[03:16.38]And he founded the city called Alexandria
[03:20.80]By the Tigris river
[03:22.50]He met King Darius again
[03:24.52]And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela
[03:28.82]Entering Babylon
[03:30.82]And Susa, treasures he found
[03:32.80]Took Persepolis the capital of Persia
[03:37.89]Alexander the Great
[03:41.07]His name struck fear into hearts of men
[03:45.56]Alexander the Great
[03:49.55]Became a God amongst mortal men
[07:10.32]A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke
[07:12.47]And Alexander cut the “Gordian Knot”
[07:13.91]And legend said that who untied the knot
[07:15.62]He would become the master of Asia
[07:17.94]Helonism he spread far and wide
[07:19.94]The Macedonian learned mind
[07:22.22]Their culture was a western way of life
[07:24.45]He paved the way for Christianity
[07:27.49]Marching on, marching on
[07:34.74]The battle weary marching side by side
[07:36.77]Alexander’s army line by line
[07:38.95]They wouldn’t follow him to India
[07:41.50]Tired of the combat, pain and the glory
[07:43.42]Alexander the Great
[07:46.86]His name struck fear into hearts of men
[07:51.38]Alexander the Great
[07:55.86]He died of fever in Babylon
[08:04.17]
