Alesia lyrics

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

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

Beloveth ground

Take me home

Alesia, Alisanos

Wake me when I'm gone

Ianotouta, eternity

Proclaim our barren sacrifice

On that ground we cherished life

We embraced death

As the children's cries trailed off

Sob yielded deathly (hush)

Alesia, Alisanos

Wake me when I'm gone

Ianotouta, 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

Ianotouta, eternity

Proclaim our barren sacrifice

(Outside Alesia)

(We offered a living sacrifice)

(Outside the doors of Alesia)

(Where our tears run dry)
