Verse 1: Armies halted at India's heart Men refuse to make a start Further east, beyond what's known Alexander's dreams overthrown Chorus: Edge of the World, they will not pass Mutiny brews among the mass Alexander rages, begs, and pleads But homeward now his army heads Verse 2: Legends of monsters, endless seas Bring the mightiest army to its knees Alexander's vision, too grand to grasp Empire's borders within his clasp (Repeat Chorus) Bridge: Turning back with victory so near End of conquest brings a tear Dreams of world unity unfulfilled By human limits, ambition is stilled (Guitar Solo) (Repeat Chorus) Outro: Edge of the World, journey's end Homeward now their path will wend!
