[00:36.82]Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc
[00:42.27]As she came riding through the dark;
[00:47.42]No moon to keep her armour bright,
[00:52.93]No man to get her through this very smoky night.
[01:03.94]She said, “I’m tired of the war,
[01:10.34]I want the kind of work I had before,
[01:14.70]A wedding dress or something white
[01:19.69]To wear upon my swollen appetite.”
[01:57.49]Well, I’m glad to hear you talk this way,
[02:03.47]You know I’ve watched you riding every day
[02:08.46]And something in me yearns to win
[02:14.24]Such a cold and lonesome heroine.
[02:25.45]”And who are you?” she sternly spoke
[02:31.35]To the one beneath the smoke.
[02:35.62]”Why, I’m fire,” he replied,
[02:40.08]”And I love your solitude, I love your pride.”
[03:18.09]”Then fire, make your body cold,
[03:24.70]I’m going to give you mine to hold,”
[03:28.85]Saying this she climbed inside
[03:34.40]To be his one, to be his only bride.
[03:45.28]And deep into his fiery heart
[03:50.26]He took the dust of Joan of Arc
[03:55.78]And high above the wedding guests
[04:00.98]He hung the ashes of her lovely wedding dress
[04:39.14]It was deep into his fiery heart
[04:44.10]He took the dust of Joan of Arc,
[04:51.23]And then she clearly understood
[04:54.61]If he was fire, oh then she must be wood.
[05:06.62]I saw her wince, I saw her cry,
[05:13.04]I saw the glory in her eye.
[05:17.25]Myself I long for love and light,
[05:21.84]But must it come so cruel, and oh so bright?
