Iron Maiden Alexander The Great Lyrics

["My Son Ask For Thyself Another]
[Kingdom, For That Which I Leave]
[Is Too Small For Thee"]
(King Philip II Of Macedonia - 339 B.c.)

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
In 334 B.C.
He Utterly Beat
The Armies Of Persia

Alexander The Great
His Name Struck Fear
Into Hearts Of Men
Alexander The Great
Became A Legend
Amongst Mortal Men

King Darius The Third
Defeated 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 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

Alexander The Great
His Name Struck Fear
Into Hearts Of Men
Alexander The Great
Became A God
Amongst Mortal Men

[[[SolO]]]

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

Hellenism He Spread
Far And Wide
The Macedonian
Learned Mind

Their Culture Was
A Western Way Of Life
He Paved The Way
For Christianity

Marching On
Marching On
The Battle Weary
Marching Side By Side

Alexander's Army
Line By Line
They Wouldn't
Follow Him To India
Tired Of The Combat
Pain And The Glory

Alexander The Great
His Name Struck
Fear Into Hearts Of Men
Alexander The Great
He Died Of Fever In Babylon.
