[(Harris) 8:35]

"My son ask for thyself another
3
Kingdom, for that which I leave
4
is too small for thee"
5
(King Philip of Macedonia - 339 B.C.)
6
Near to the east
7
In a part of ancient Greece
8
In an ancient land called Macedonia
9
Was born a son
10
To Philip of Macedon
11
The legend his name was Alexander
12
At the age of nineteen
13
He became the Macedon King
14
And he swore to free all of Asia Minor
15
By the Aegian Sea
16
In 334 B.C.
17
He utterly beat the armies of Persia
18
[Chorus:]
19
Alexander the Great
20
His name struck fear into hearts of men
21
Alexander the Great
22
Became a legend 'mongst mortal men
23
King Darius the third
24
Defeated fled Persia
25
The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes
26
Then Egypt fell to the Macedon King as well
27
And he founded the city called Alexandria
28
By the Tigris river
29
He met King Darius again
30
And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela
31
Entering Babylon
32
And Susa, treasures he found
33
Took Persepolis the capital of Persia
34
[Chorus:]
35
Alexander the Great
36
His name struck fear into hearts of men
37
Alexander the Great
38
Became a God amongst mortal men
39
A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke
40
And Alexander cut the 'Gordian knot'
41
And legend said that who untied the knot
42
He would become the master of Asia
43
Hellenism he spread far and wide
44
The Macedonian learned mind
45
Their culture was a western way of life
46
He paved the way for Christianity
47
Marching on, marching on
48
The battle weary marching side by side
49
Alexander's army line by line
50
They wouldn't follow him to India
51
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory
52
Alexander the Great
53
His name struck fear into hearts of men
54
Alexander the Great
55
He died of fever in Babylon
