Lyrics Alexander The Great (356-323 BC) - 1998 Remastered Version - Iron Maiden
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
swore
to
free
all
of
Asia
Minor,
By
the
Aegian
Sea
in
334
BC,
He
utterly
beat
the
armies
of
Persia.
Alexander
the
Great,
His
name
struck
fear
into
hearts
of
men,
Alexander
the
Great,
Became
a
legend
'mongst
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.
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
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.
