FUNERAL

quot;My son ask for thyself another
Kingdom, for that which I leave
is too small for theequot;
(King Philip 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 Region Sea 
In 334 B.C.
He utterly beat the armies of Persia
Chorus:
Alexander the Greate
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Greate
Became a legend mongst mortal men
King Dorius 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 Dorius again
And crushed himagain in the battle of Arbela
Entering Babylon
And Suso, treasures he found
Took Persepolis the capitol of Persia
Chorus:
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Greate
Become a God amongst mortal men
A Phrigion King had bound a chriot yoke
And Alexander cut the Gordian Knot nbsp;
and legend said that who untied the knot                                                                 
He would became 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 battel weary marching side by side
Alexanders army line by line
They wouldnt follow himto India
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory
Alexander the Greate
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Greate
He died of fever in Babylon
