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
My son ask for thyself another Kingdom, for that which I leave is too small for thee
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
I Swear to free all of Asia Minor
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
