Alesia

 

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 I 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

 

Beloveth ground take me home

 

Alesia, alisanos

Wake me when I’m gone

I notout , eternity

Proclaim

Our barren sacrifice

 

On that ground we cherished life

Wr embraced death

As the children’s cries trailed off

Sob yielded deathly hush

 

The grass as green as it always was

That sinister day

As we walked the alleys like thousand times before

I knew we’d stay

 

Outside Alesia

We offered a living sacrifice

 

Outside the doors of Alesia

Where our tears run dry
