[Verse]
Cm Fm9
The grass was as green as it always was that sinister day
Cm Fm9 Cm
The blackbirds sang their songs as they always did that black-letter day
Fm9 Cm
We passed the great gate for the very last time
Fm9
I did not look back, I knew we'd stay
Cm Cm6 Cm6 D#
I knew they they would not let us go leave the death strip
Cm Cm6
I saw the gleam in their eyes of fear and enslavement
Cm6 Cm G#
Suffering from the crushing weight
[Bridge]
A# G# A# G G G G G N.C.
I knelt ground take me home
[Chorus]
Cm Cm6
Alesia, alisanos
A# G#
Wake me when I'm gone
Cm D#
Ianotouta, eternity
A# Cm Cm/G#
Proclaim our barren sacrifice
[Verse]
Cm Cm6
On that ground we cherished life
Cm6 D#
We embraced death
Cm Cm6
As the children's cries trailed off
N.C.
Sob yielded deathly hush
[Chorus]

Wake me when I'm gone

Ianotouta, eternity

Proclaim our barren sacrifice
