Verse:
Em
The grass was as green as it
Am9
always was that sinister day
Em
The blackbirds sang their songs
Am9 Em
as they always did that black-letter day
Am9 Em
We passed the great gate for the very last time
Am9
I did not look back, I knew we'd stay
Em
I knew they they would not let us
Em6 Em6 G
go leave the death strip
Em
I saw the gleam in their eyes of fear
Em6
and enslavement
Em6 Em C
Suffering from the crushing weight
Bridge:
D C D B B B B B N.С.
I knelt ground take me home
Chorus:
Em Em6
Alesia, alisanos
D C
Wake me when I'm gone
Em G
Ianotouta, eternity
D Em Em/C
Proclaim our barren sacrifice
Verse:
Em Em6
On that ground we cherished life
Em6 G
We embraced death
Em Em6
As the children's cries trailed off
N.С.
Sob yielded deathly hush
Chorus:
Em Em6
Alesia, alisanos
D C
Wake me when I'm gone
Em G
Ianotouta, eternity
D Em Em/C
Proclaim our barren sacrifice
