Lyrics Alesia - Eluveitie

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
Beloved 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
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
