[Verse]
Bm Em9
The grass was as green as it always was that sinister day
Bm Em9 Bm
The blackbirds sang their songs as they always did that black-letter day
Em9 Bm
We passed the great gate for the very last time
Em9
I did not look back, I knew we'd stay
Bm Bm6 Bm6 D
I knew they they would not let us go leave the death strip
Bm Bm6
I saw the gleam in their eyes of fear and enslavement
Bm6 Bm G
Suffering from the crushing weight
[Bridge]
A G A F# F# F# F# F# N.C.
I knelt ground take me home
[Chorus]
Bm Bm6
Alesia, alisanos
A G
Wake me when I'm gone
Bm D
Ianotouta, eternity
A Bm Bm/G
Proclaim our barren sacrifice
[Verse]
Bm Bm6
On that ground we cherished life
Bm6 D
We embraced death
Bm Bm6
As the children's cries trailed off
N.C.
Sob yielded deathly hush
[Chorus]
Bm Bm6
Alesia, alisanos
A G
Wake me when I'm gone
Bm D
Ianotouta, eternity
A Bm Bm/G
Proclaim our barren sacrifice

Bm Em9
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
[Chorus]

Alesia, alisanos
A G
Wake me when I'm gone
Bm D
Ianotouta, eternity
A Bm Bm/G
Proclaim our barren sacrifice
