Pragelato (also Pragelà) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Turin in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 60 kilometres (37 mi) west of Turin, in the upper Val Chisone. The name Pragelato, meaning "icy meadow", has been derived from the harsh climate and the fact that the ground is covered with ice for long periods. On both sides of the Chisone, extensive forests of pine and larch provide protection from the avalanches which are a common occurrence in the winter season: for this reason in the nineteenth century the people of Pragelato were only permitted to fell trees close to the mountain summits, and even then only with the permission of the communal administration.
Pragelato borders the following municipalities: Exilles, Oulx, Salbertrand, Usseaux, Fenestrelle, Sauze d'Oulx, Massello, Sestriere, Sauze di Cesana, Salza di Pinerolo, Prali.
Pragelato was part of the Escartons Republic, a semi-independent French state which lasted from 1343 to 1713. After the Treaty of Utrecht of the latter, it became a possession of the House of Savoy.
WAS WIRD WERDEN WENN KEINER MEHR SCHREIT
WIE WAREN DIE MANNER UND WO WAREN DIE NARREN
WER ZWEIFELT HIER AN SEINER ABKUNFT
WANN WERDEN WIR WOHL DIE RECHNUNG BEGLEICHEN
WO MAN VEREINT UND VERBRUDERT
SICH AUFSCHRECKT UND ABSCHRECKT
WO MAN EINTEILT UND AUSTEILT UND WAHRHEIT SCHANDET
UND DER LAHME DEM BLINDEN SEINEN KRUCKSTOCK SPENDET
WAS WIRD WERDEN WENN DU NICHT MEHR SCHLAFEN KANNST
MIT DER ANGST IM NACKEN WIRD KEINER MEHR FROH
DU GLAUBST ES NICHT, FUHLST ES NICHT,KOMMEN WIRD ES SOWIESO
IN EIN KAUGUMMI-PARADIES WANDER ICH AUS
DER PROPHET GILT NICHTS IM EIGENEN HAUS
WO ERST DAS BARGELD EURER MUTTERSPRACHE AUGEN OFFNET
DEUTSCH BIS IN DIE LETZTE KONSEQUENZ
ICH WERDE AUFSTEIGEN- AUFERSTEHEN
AUS DER ASCHE GEBOREN IN EIN NEUES LEBEN GEHEN
ICH WILL MEHR- IMMER MEHR
GENAU WIE DU
IIMMER MEHR

HOW WILL IT BE WHEN NOONE SPEAKS UP ANYMORE
HOW WERE THE MEN AND WHERE WERE THE FOOLS
WHO HAS DOUBTS ABOUT THEIR DESCENT
WHEN WILL WE BE PAYING THE BILL
WHERE ALL, UNITED AND IN BROTHERHOOD
STARTLE AND SCARE EACH OTHER
WHERE ALL CLASSIFY AND DEAL OUT AND MUTILATE TRUTH
WHERE THE LAME DONATES HIS CRUTCH TO THE BLIND
HOW WILL IT BE WHEN YOU CAN'T SLEEP ANYMORE
WITH FEAR BREATHING DOWN YOUR NECK YOU WON'T BE CONTENT ANYMORE
YET, YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT, YOU DON'T FEEL IT COMING,BUT IT WILL ...
I EMIGRATE TO CHEWING-GUM-PARADISE
A PROHET IS NEVER KNOWN IN HIS OWN LAND
WHERE ONLY CASH OPENS YOUR MOTHERTONGUES EYES
GERMAN TO THE LAST CONSEQUENCE
I WILL ASCEND- RISE FROM THE DEAD
BORN FROM ASH INTO A NEW EXISTENCE
I WANT MORE-ALWAYS MORE
JUST LIKE YOU
