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

A#m D#m9
The grass was as green as it always was that sinister day
A#m D#m9
As we walked the alleys like thousand times before
D#m9
I knew we'd stay
[Chorus]

Alesia, alisanos

Wake me when I'm gone
A#m C#
Ianotouta, eternity
