[Lyric] Joan of Arc (Joustene Lorenz)

1
Well, I fell in love with Joan of Arc
That image of her flesh on fire
Her body burning
Heaven calling
‘Come to me,’
I see her red star shining in the sky

No, you can’t fake it
The elements will bring you down
Fantasies of immortality
Will burn your cities to the ground

2
Ma Jeanne Purcelle d’Orleans
Her vision, glory and her blade
The armies of the men
Who worshipped her
The girl whom war sent slowly mad

No, you can’t fake it
Life’s gonna turn you upside down
Smoke drifting through the battlefield
Another star is tumbling down
REFRAIN
‘Joan,’ they said
‘Remove your faith or undress
‘Wretches like you need to learn
‘That it’s compliance or you’ll burn!’

3
Well, I imagined Joan was in my bed last night
The movie star of my dreams
Her eyes were blazing, fingers flaming
‘Come to me’
She’s everything I’ll ever want to be

No, you can’t fake it
You live by your mind and your heart
The fire and air and water
That surround your soul
Released forever to the stars

REFRAIN
‘Joan,’ they said
‘Remove your faith or undress
‘Wretches like you need to learn
‘That it’s compliance or you’ll burn!’

REFRAIN
‘Joan,’ they said
‘Remove your faith or undress
‘You wretches just have to learn
‘That it’s compliance or you’ll burn!’

Oh Sweet Joan
In the altar of our home
They made a hero and a saint of you
But we know none of that is true

Oh Sweet Joan
You’ll never be alone
You left this earth in 1431
But your star is shining on
And on
And on and on …
