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

G#m C#m9
The grass was as green as it always was that sinister day
G#m C#m9
As we walked the alleys like thousand times before
C#m9
I knew we'd stay
[Chorus]
G#m G#m6
Alesia, alisanos
F# E
Wake me when I'm gone
G#m B
Ianotouta, eternity
F# G#m G#m/E
Proclaim our barren sacrifice
