Mausoleum At Halicarnassus (I) lyrics
by Rick Wakeman
The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was the most magnificent tomb ever constructed, in the 4th century B.C
Built by the ambitious King Mausollos as a monument to his power
The Mausoleum survived for many centuries before eventually falling into ruin in 1581
With the stones from the remains being used to build a fortress
