Alexander the Great

If I were Alexander the Great, I'd ask you to marry me. And call a place that I named for you, The city of fine beauty. And all the power and all the fame would Lose its meaning then. The monuments and the citadels, Next to you they all ruin. Here I am alone, The subject that you hold. I've crawled my way through Hell and back, Just to see your smile. I've suffered death for a thousand years, Burning all the while. If I had power to throw around, To hear the world call you queen. It'd be my honor to bow with them, To respect the beauty we've seen. But all that I have is myself, And I am all that you see. Could understand completely if you're not Impressed with me. Here I die alone, A king without a throne. I've crawled my way through Hell and back, Just to see your smile. I've suffered death for a thousand years, Burning all the while. Here I am alone. I see you there in a peaceful state, Pretending that you're blind. I know you've found some better things to Occupy your mind. I can't really say the reasons why I bothered To catch your eye. When you can change the world I own, I never even try. I've crawled my way through Hell and back, Just to see your smile. I've suffered death for a thousand years, Burning all the while. I've traveled here and I've traveled there, And followed every star. I've seen the world and the lands unknown, And I still don't know where you are. Here I die alone.
