Title:Joan of Arc |
|
Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc |
|
as she came riding through the dark |
|
no moon to keep her armour bright |
|
no man to get her through this dark and smoky night. |
|
She said I'm tired of the war |
|
I want kind of work I had before |
|
a wedding dress or something white |
|
to wear upon my swollen appetite. |
|
La... |
|
Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way |
|
I've watched you riding every day |
|
and something in me yearns to win |
|
such a cold and lonesome heroine. |
|
And who are you? she sternly spoke |
|
to the one beneath the smoke. |
|
Why, I'm fire, he replied |
|
And I love your solitude, I love your pride. |
|
La... |
|
Well then fire, make your body cold |
|
I'm gonna give you mine to hold |
|
And saying this she climbed inside |
|
to be his one, to be his only bride. |
|
Been deep into his fiery heart |
|
he took the dust of Joan of Arc |
|
and high above all these wedding guests |
|
he hung the ashes of her lovely wedding dress. |
|
La... |
|
It was deep into his fiery heart |
|
he took the dust of Joan of Arc |
|
and then she clearly understood |
|
if he was fire, oh she must be wood. |
|
I saw her wince, I saw her cry |
|
I saw the glory in her eye. |
|
Myself I long for love and light |
|
but must it come so cruel, must it be so brave? |
|
La... |
|
~Wish you happy! --enjoy100~ |
