Just

I don't know if I've posted about this before, but speaking of school....if I have a son, when he's in his ancient history class and Alexander the Great is a subject you could do worse than memorizing this song.

I can sit there and be like, "Oh yes, then Alexander took his troops to the Jaxartes River for a battle against the Scythians. He defeated them." Wow, you sure know alot about history!

Such an amazing album, but seriously....? SERIOUSLY, STEVE HARRIS? It reads like a history lesson....

Dickinson probably was like, "WTF, I'm going to sing "Three Thirty Four Bee-Cee"?

And of course the greatest part, "ALLLLLEEEEXXXAANNNDER THE GREEEAAATT...HE DIED. OF FEVER. IN BABYLON".

And then the song's over. Amazing.

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.

At the age of nineteen, he became the Macedon king,
And swore to free all of Asia Minor,
By the Aegian Sea in 334 BC,
He utterly beat the armies of Persia.

Chorus:
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 Jaxartes,
Then Egypt fell to the Macedon king as well,
And he founded the city called Alexandria.

By the Jaxartes river, he met King Darius again,
And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela,
Entering Babylon and Susa, treasures he found,
Took Persepolis, the capital of Persia.

Chorus:
Alexander the Great,
His name struck fear into hearts of men,
Alexander the Great,
Became a god amongst mortal men.

A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke,
And Alexander cut the "Gordion knot",
And 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.

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.

Chorus:
Alexander the Great,
His name struck fear into hearts of men,
Alexander the Great,
He died of fever in Babylon

I brought a copy of Powerslave into high school when we were reading The Rime of the Ancient Mariner in English class. The teacher thought it was cool hearing it put to music.
We also got to listen to The Preacher by Testament in History class when learning of the San Francisco Bay earthquake in 1906.

Don't flatter yourself.

Don't flatter yourself.
