Alesia是一座高盧人的古代都市,在凱撒征服高盧之後,這裡成為一座羅馬城市。西元前52年,凱撒率領的羅馬軍團和維欽托利率領的高盧人在這裡展開決戰,是為阿萊西亞之戰。這場戰爭最終羅馬人得到勝利,高盧戰爭也至此決出結果,羅馬統治了高盧。現在考古學家已經在這裡發現了當時戰爭的遺跡。
這首歌描述的就是高爐人被凱薩征服的那一天,人們的犧牲,生命的凋零
The grass as green as it always was that sinister day
即使在最險惡那天,草地仍一如往常那樣的翠綠
blackbird sang their songs as they always did that black-letter day
那個哥德式陰暗的日子裡黑雁一如往常地唱著歌
the day we passed the great gate for the very last time
我們最後一次跨越那個宏偉大門的那天
I did not look back, I knew we`d stay
我沒有回頭,我知道我們會留下
I knew they I would not let us go leave the death strip
我認識他們 我會緊緊抓緊我們 直到離開死亡地帶

suffering from the crushing weight

I knelt ground take me home
