(harris)

my sonask for thyself another kingdom
For that which I leave is to small for thee.

Near to the eastin 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 nineteenhe 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.

Chorus:
Alexander the great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the great
Became a legend ’mongst mortal men.

King darius the thirddefeated 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 riverhe met king darius again
And crushed him again in the battle of arbela
Entering babylon and susatreasures he found
Took persepolisthe capital of persia.

Chorus:
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 onmarching on.

The battle weary marching side by side
Alexander’s army line by line
They wouldn’t follow him to india
Tired of the combatpain and the glory.

Chorus:
Alexander the great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the great
He died of fever in babylon.
