The grass was as green as it always was that sinister day
The blackbird sang their songs as they always did that black-letter day
The day we passed the great gate for the very last time
I did not look back, I knew we’d stay
I knew they would not let us go leave the death strip
I saw the gleam in their eyes of fear and enslavement
The crushing weight
Beloved ground take me home
Alesia, Alisanos
Wake me when I’m gone
Lanotouta, eternity
Proclaim our barren sacrifice
On that ground we cherished life
And embraced death
As the children’s cries trailed off
Sob yielded deathly hush
Alesia, Alisanos
Wake me when I’m gone
Lanotouta, eternity
Proclaim our barren sacrifice
The grass was as green as it always was that sinister day
As we walked the alleys like thousand times before
I knew we’d stay
Alesia, Alisanos
Wake me when I’m gone
Lanotouta, eternity
Proclaim my barren sacrifice
Outside Alesia
We offered a living sacrifice
Outside the doors of Alesia
Where our tears run dry
