  [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

  [Verse]  
        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
