[Verse]
Am Dm9
The grass was as green as it always was that sinister day
Am Dm9 Am
The blackbirds sang their songs as they always did that black-letter day
Dm9 Am
We passed the great gate for the very last time
Dm9
I did not look back, I knew we'd stay
Am Am6 Am6 C
I knew they they would not let us go leave the death strip
Am Am6
I saw the gleam in their eyes of fear and enslavement
Am6 Am F
Suffering from the crushing weight
[Bridge]
G F G E E E E E N.C.
I knelt ground take me home
[Chorus]
Am Am6
Alesia, alisanos
G F
Wake me when I'm gone
Am C
Ianotouta, eternity
G Am Am/F
Proclaim our barren sacrifice
[Verse]
Am Am6
On that ground we cherished life
Am6 C
We embraced death
Am Am6
As the children's cries trailed off
N.C.
Sob yielded deathly hush
[Chorus]
Am Am6
Alesia, alisanos
G F
Wake me when I'm gone
Am C
Ianotouta, eternity
G Am Am/F
Proclaim our barren sacrifice

Am Dm9
The grass was as green as it always was that sinister day

I knew we'd stay
[Chorus]

Wake me when I'm gone
Am C
Ianotouta, eternity

Proclaim our barren sacrifice
