[length: 06:31]
[00:09.97]Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc
[00:16.35]As she came riding through the dark
[00:19.90]No moon to keep her Armour bright
[00:25.38]Then no man to get her through this darkest very smoky night
[00:35.23]She said, “I’m tired of the war
[00:41.66]I want the kind of work I had before
[00:45.20]With a wedding dress or something white
[00:50.67]To wear upon my swollen appetite”
[01:26.88]Well, I’m glad to to hear you talk this way
[01:31.31]You see I’ve watched you riding all most every single day
[01:35.97]And theres something in me yearns to win
[01:42.20]Such a very cold and such a very lonesome heroine? Well then, who are you?” she sternly spoke
[01:58.55]To the one beneath the smoke
[02:03.04]”Why, I’m, I’m fire,” he replied
[02:07.55]”And I love your solitude, how I love your sense of pride”
[02:12.17]”Well then fire, make your body cold
[02:48.97]I’m gonna give you mine to hold”
[02:53.54]Saying this she climbed inside
[02:58.07]To be his one, to be his only bride
[03:08.97]It was deep into his fiery heart
[03:13.48]He took the dust of a Joan of Arc
[03:18.83]And high above all these assembled wedding guests
[03:23.33]He hung the ashes of her very lovely wedding dress
[04:50.28]It was deep deep into his fiery heart
[04:55.66]That he took the dust of all precious Joan of Arc
[05:02.02]Then she clearly clearly understood
[05:05.67]If if he was fire, oh she must be wood
[05:11.03]I saw her wince, I saw her cry
[05:22.86]I saw the glory in her eye
[05:26.31]Myself I long, I long for love and light
[05:31.87]But must it come so cruel, and must it must it be so very bright?
