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 of 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 at 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 ’mongst mortal men A phrygian king had bound a chariot yoke And alexander cut the ’gordian knot’ And the 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
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
