Alesia Songtext
von Eluveitie

The grass was as green as it always was
That sinister day
The blackbirds sang their songs as they aways 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
And 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
