"Jeanne d'Arc" lyrics
"Jeanne d'Arc"
A revelation from an angel
Whose voice still echoes in your mind
Brought you the message of a higher destination
That to fulfill you were assigned
A native maid of tender, age and dedication
Born in a dark and restless age
You had no doubts but fears and asked the reasons why
But still you carried on
There will come the day of liberation and glory
We'll be relieved from all the torture and pain
After fighting war for values sacred and holy
In the history of mankind your name will remain
Guided by your fearless force they take up arms and heed your call
Now the prophecy comes true, the tyrant's slain in the name of God
In a rage of war
Out of the seeds of superstition
And guided by a devious plan
The tension grows as you approach the inquisition
For to your fate you must resign
Your deeds of valour done, your followers desert you
Before the jury now you stand
A final sacrifice on your celestial mission
Condemned to burn alive
Jeanne! Jeanne!
Deny the voices in your mind
Jeanne! Jeanne!
There's still a chance to stay alive
Jeanne! Jeanne!
We pray for you, we know you're right
Jeanne! Jeanne!
Say why go this far
Light
You're gliding into light
With angels at your side
Embracing you so tight
To shelter you from pain
They sentenced you in vain
Your spirit will arise
To melt with heaven's light
Eternal and divine
Your sacrifice will shine
You left a warning sign
You martyr and you saint
You worded no complaint
As at the end you faint
To rise to heaven's light
There will come the day of liberation and glory
You'll be relieved from all your torture and pain
After fighting war for values sacred and holy
In the history of mankind your name will remain
Light
You're gliding into light
With angels at your side
Embracing you so tight
To shelter you from pain
They sentenced you in vain
Your spirit will arise
To melt with heaven's light
Eternal and divine
Your sacrifice will shine
You left a warning sign
You martyr and you saint
You worded no complaint
As at the end you faint
To rise to heaven's light
