[Verse]
D#m G#m9
The grass was as green as it always was that sinister day
D#m G#m9 D#m
The blackbirds sang their songs as they always did that black-letter day
G#m9 D#m
We passed the great gate for the very last time
G#m9
I did not look back, I knew we'd stay
D#m D#m6 D#m6 F#
I knew they they would not let us go leave the death strip
D#m D#m6
I saw the gleam in their eyes of fear and enslavement
D#m6 D#m B
Suffering from the crushing weight
[Bridge]
C# B C# A# A# A# A# A# N.C.
I knelt ground take me home
[Chorus]
D#m D#m6
Alesia, alisanos
C# B
Wake me when I'm gone
D#m F#
Ianotouta, eternity
C# D#m D#m/B
Proclaim our barren sacrifice
[Verse]
D#m D#m6
On that ground we cherished life
D#m6 F#
We embraced death
D#m D#m6
As the children's cries trailed off
N.C.
Sob yielded deathly hush
[Chorus]
D#m D#m6
Alesia, alisanos
C# B
Wake me when I'm gone
D#m F#
Ianotouta, eternity
C# D#m D#m/B
Proclaim our barren sacrifice

[Verse]
D#m G#m9
The grass was as green as it always was that sinister day
D#m G#m9
As we walked the alleys like thousand times before
G#m9
I knew we'd stay
[Chorus]
D#m D#m6
Alesia, alisanos
C# B
Wake me when I'm gone
D#m F#
Ianotouta, eternity
C# D#m D#m/B
Proclaim our barren sacrifice
