[Verse]
Dm Gm9
The grass was as green as it always was that sinister day
Dm Gm9 Dm
The blackbirds sang their songs as they always did that black-letter day
Gm9 Dm
We passed the great gate for the very last time
Gm9
I did not look back, I knew we'd stay
Dm Dm6 Dm6 F
I knew they they would not let us go leave the death strip
Dm Dm6
I saw the gleam in their eyes of fear and enslavement
Dm6 Dm A#
Suffering from the crushing weight
[Bridge]
C A# C A A A A A N.C.
I knelt ground take me home
[Chorus]
Dm Dm6
Alesia, alisanos
C A#
Wake me when I'm gone
Dm F
Ianotouta, eternity
C Dm Dm/A#
Proclaim our barren sacrifice
[Verse]
Dm Dm6
On that ground we cherished life
Dm6 F
We embraced death
Dm Dm6
As the children's cries trailed off
N.C.
Sob yielded deathly hush
[Chorus]
Dm Dm6
Alesia, alisanos
C A#
Wake me when I'm gone
Dm F
Ianotouta, eternity
C Dm Dm/A#
Proclaim our barren sacrifice

The grass was as green as it always was that sinister day

As we walked the alleys like thousand times before

I knew we'd stay

Wake me when I'm gone

Ianotouta, eternity
