|
The day of the trial has come |
|
Months spent as a prisoner see the end |
|
Any reason they'll find is a fake charge |
|
Any questions they'll ask you |
|
Is a factious way to send you |
|
Upon the stake to burn you as a witch |
|
Many silver coins have bought the Anglo revenge |
|
The English flow to Rouen to see who is the Maid |
|
They think it will be easy to deceive the shepherd girl |
|
To depict her as witch and to condemn her to burn |
|
The Maiden stood awaiting for her destiny was done |
|
She answered refuting their questions with pride |
|
Witch or demon dressed in male clothing |
|
The accused the banner she carried |
|
Spread magic and dark |
|
French Maiden Warrior now your soul lives eternally |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
She was burning at the stake, the pain she felt |
|
It would deeply marked their own sad destiny |
|
The fire burning to the sky has freed her soul |
|
Like a white dove, she was taken away from there |
|
Haunting words in her head: "You're an heretic..." they said |
|
Praying in the prison, she waited for the end |
|
The body was enchained but her spirit strong and free |
|
Ready to forgive the great perfidy of men |
|
French Maiden Warrior now your soul lives eternally |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Fighting the force of pain |
|
The last battle through the flames |
|
She has found he holy gates to eternity |
|
In the future she will stay the symbol of France |
|
In the centuries to come she'll become a saint |
|
French Maiden Warrior now your soul |
|
Flies on the wings of eternity |
|
France's freedom finally she gave to their people |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Fighting the force of pain... |
|
In the future she will stay the symbol of France |
|
In the centuries to come will shine again |
|
She was burnt upon the stake but she became a saint |
|
In the centuries to come |
