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

Wake me when I'm gone
