The Vardar or Axios (Macedonian: Вардар ; Greek: Αξιός Axiós or Βαρδάρης Vardárīs) is the longest and major river in the Republic of Macedonia and also a major river of Greece. It is 388 km (241 mi) long, and drains an area of around 25,000 km2 (9,653 sq mi). The maximum depth of the river is 4 m (13 ft).
The river rises at Vrutok, a few kilometers north of Gostivar in the Republic of Macedonia. It passes through Gostivar, Skopje and into Veles, crosses the Greek border near Gevgelija, Polykastro and Axioupoli ("town on the Axiós"), before emptying into the Aegean Sea in Central Macedonia west of Thessaloniki in northern Greece.
The Vardar basin includes two-thirds of the territory of the Republic of Macedonia. The area is sometimes called "Vardar Macedonia" after the river, to distinguish it from Greek Macedonia and Blagoevgrad Province, also known as "Pirin Macedonia," in Bulgaria.
The valley comprises fertile lands in the Polog region, around Gevgelija and in the Thessaloniki regional unit. The river is surrounded by mountains elsewhere. The superhighways Greek National Road 1 in Greece and M1 and E75 run within the valley along the river's entire length to near Skopje.
Vardar is a river in the Republic of Macedonia and Greece.

Well if I was a satellite
I'd watch you when you sleep
And if I was an undertow
I'd drag you to the deep
And if I was a prison
I would hide you in my walls
And if I was an angel
I would catch you when you fall
It's such a cold day
Down here in hell
And it's a long way
Long way to heaven
But it's okay
'Cause we're singing with the angels
It's such a cold day
Down here in hell
And it's a long way
Up there to heaven
But it's okay
'Cause we're singing with the angels
And I will give you everything I have
If I had anything at all
And if I was a memory
I'd creep into your mind
And if I was a tourniquet
I'd never let you die
It's such a cold day
Down here in hell
And it's a long way
Long way to heaven
But it's okay
'Cause we're singing with the angels
And it's such a cold day
Down here in hell
And it's a long way
Up there to heaven
But it's okay
'Cause we're singing with the angels
And I would give you everything I had
If I had anything at all
Anything at all
It's such a cold day
Down here in hell
And it's a long way
Long way to heaven
But it's okay
'Cause we're singing with the angels
Anything at all
And it's such a cold day
Down here in hell
And it's a long way
Up there to heaven
But it's okay cause we're singing with the angels
Anything at all
It's such a cold day
Down here in hell
And it's a long way
Long way to heaven
But it's okay
'Cause we're singing with the angels
Anything at all
If I was a hurricane
I'd blow your world apart
All over the world
Winners are cheating
Losers are weeping
Take anything at all
All over the world
Lovers are killing
Suckers are willing
