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

Verse:
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
Chorus:
Alesia, alisanos
Wake me when I'm gone
Ianotouta, eternity
Proclaim our barren sacrifice
