Eluveitie - 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
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 would not let us
Go leave the death strip
I saw the gleam in their
Eyes of fear and enslavement
The crushing weight

Beloved ground take me home

Alesia, Alisanos wake me when I'm gone
Lanotouta, 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
Lanotouta, 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
Lanotouta, eternity
Proclaim my barren sacrifice

Outside Alesia we offered a living sacrifice

Outside the doors of Alesia
Where our tears run dry
