[Intro – war horns + spoken]
336 BC… A twenty-year-old king took the throne of a tiny mountain realm.
By the time he was thirty-two, the known world bowed before him.
His name was Alexandros. The world still trembles when it hears it.
[Verse 1]
Son of Philip, pupil of Aristotle,
Born in Pella with the blood of Achilles,
At twenty he crushed the tribes of the north,
Then turned his eyes where the sun is born!
Three hundred ships crossed the Hellespont waves,
To burn the pride of the Persian slave,
Granicus river ran red with their blood,
The first of ten thousand victories to come!
[Pre-Chorus]
Sarissa forward, the phalanx roars,
No army on earth can stop this force!
[Chorus]
ALEXANDER! ALEXANDER!
Hell on earth, the world in flames!
ALEXANDER! ALEXANDER!
No one stops the Macedonian name!
From the Nile to the Ganges shore,
One king, one war, forevermore!
ALEXANDER! ALEXANDROS!
ANIKITOS!
[Verse 2]
At Issus he broke the Great King’s line,
Darius fled, left his family behind,
Tyre fell after seven months of hell,
Gaza’s gates were smashed as well!
He rode to the oracle in the sand,
Siwa’s priest called him son of Ammon’s hand,
Then Babylon, Susa, Persepolis burned,
A funeral pyre for the empire he earned!
[Pre-Chorus]
Hetairoi! Charge through the dust,
Bucephalus carries the world’s trust!
[Chorus]
ALEXANDER! ALEXANDER!
Hell on earth, the world in flames!
ALEXANDER! ALEXANDER!
No one stops the Macedonian name!
From the Nile to the Ganges shore,
One king, one war, forevermore!
ALEXANDER! ALEXANDROS!
ANIKITOS!
[Bridge – slower, epic]
From the Hindu Kush to the Indian rain,
His soldiers begged: “Great King, turn home again!”
But he dreamed of oceans without an end,
A god in flesh who would never bend.
In Babylon’s palace the fever came,
At thirty-two the world lost its flame…

[Final Chorus – podwójny chór, pełna moc]
ALEXANDER! ALEXANDER!
Hell on earth, the world in flames!
ALEXANDER! ALEXANDER!
No one stops the Macedonian name!
From the Nile to the Ganges shore,
One king, one war, forevermore!
ALEXANDER! ALEXANDROS!
ANIKITOS!
ANIKITOS!
ANIKITOS!
