ALEXANDER THE GREAT

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
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Became a legend 'mongst mortal men
King Darius the third
Defeated fled Persia
The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes
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
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
Helonism he spread far and wide
The Macedonian learned mind
Their culture was a western way of life Alexander's army line by line
They wouldn't follow him to India
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory Alexander the Great
He died of fever in Babylon
