Alexander The Great: una delle mie canzoni preferite e nel contempo sottovalutata dagli stessi Maiden come l’album che la contiene, Somewhere In Time (1986). La ripropongo quindi col basso… ( perdonate qualche imperfezione 😛 )
Alexander the great: one of my favorite songs at the same time underestimated by the same Maiden as the album that contains it, Somewhere In Time (1986). Propose again then with the bass … (Forgive some imperfections: P)

‘my son ask for thyself another
Kingdom for that wich I leave
(king philip of macedonia – 339 b.c.)
In a part of ancient greece
In an ancient land called macedonia
The legend his name was alexander
He became the macedon king
And he swore to free all of asia minor
He utterly beat the armies of persia
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Became a legend ‘mongst mortal men
The scythians fell by the river of jaxartes
Then egypt fell to the macedon king as well
And he founded the city called alexandria
And crushed him again at the battle of arbela
And susa treasures he found
Took persepolis the capital of persia
His name struck fear into hearts of men
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
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
His name struck fear into hearts of men
He died of fever in babylon
