Then Egypt fell to the Macedon King as well 
And he founded the city called Alexandria

And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela

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

The battle weary marching side by side 
Alexander’s army line by line 
They wouldn’t follow him to India 
Tired of 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
