Joan of Arc Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
From the Heaven sent, came to free the land
Bring the fire, Joan of Arc
From a no man's land to the noble stand
To the pyre, Joan of Arc
Sent from the heavens, a daughter was born
Joan, we remember your fate
Rise up to power, an army to form
Riding to fortune and hate
Incorporate holy fires of gold
Stand up in armour and praise
By fist and blade, may your story be told
Virgin of war in God's grace
From the Heaven sent, came to free the land
Bring the fire, Joan of Arc
From a no man's land to the noble stand
To the pyre, Joan of Arc
Lead us to Heaven, we follow through flames
Hold your name up high to the spire, Joan of Arc
Once you were left of the fortune in war
Captured and thrown into jail
Those once stood loyal now chose to ignore
All of your plans bound to fail
End up accused in the court of Rouen
Upright refused to forsake
The sentence passed by ecclesial law
Heretic burned at the stake
From the Heaven sent, came to free the land
Bring the fire, Joan of Arc
From a no man's land to the noble stand
To the pyre, Joan of Arc
Lead us to Heaven, we follow through flames
Hold your name up high to the spire, Joan of Arc
From the Heaven sent, came to free the land
Bring the fire, Joan of Arc
From a no man's land to the noble stand
To the pyre, Joan of Arc
From the Heaven sent, came to free the land
Bring the fire, Joan of Arc
From a no man's land to the noble stand
To the pyre, Joan of Arc
Lead us to Heaven, we follow through flames
Hold your name up high to the spire, Joan of Arc
[Verse 1: Powerwolf]
This verse introduces Joan of Arc as a divine figure sent to liberate the land. It juxtaposes her noble rise with her tragic end, symbolizing the contrast between her heroic deeds and the fate that awaited her. The imagery of "fire" and "pyre" conveys both her passionate fight and her martyrdom. Joan's transformation from an ordinary figure to a symbol of resistance and faith is highlighted here, reflecting the reverence and myth surrounding her legacy.
[Chorus: Powerwolf]
The chorus emphasizes Joan's role as a guide and symbol of divine intervention. The call to "bring the fire" and "hold your name up high" underscores the duality of her legacy—her role in leading through trials and the fire of her execution. It celebrates her enduring influence and the way her story has been immortalized in both historical and spiritual contexts.
[Verse 2: Powerwolf]
This verse details Joan's downfall, focusing on her capture, betrayal, and execution. It describes the betrayal by those she once led and the judicial process that condemned her. The "court of Rouen" and "burned at the stake" serve as stark reminders of her tragic end, contrasting sharply with the earlier depiction of her as a heroic figure. This verse highlights the injustice she faced and the tragic resolution of her story.
[Chorus: Powerwolf]
The repeated chorus reinforces Joan’s significance and the paradox of her legacy. It continues to celebrate her role as a leader and martyr, reflecting the song’s central themes of reverence, sacrifice, and the complex nature of her historical impact. The repetition of her name and the call to "lead us to Heaven" underscore the enduring respect and admiration for her, despite the tragic end of her life.
[Outro: Powerwolf]
The outro repeats the chorus, reinforcing the key themes of Joan’s heroic legacy and martyrdom. It underscores the song's focus on celebrating her impact while acknowledging the tragic elements of her story. The repetition emphasizes the lasting significance of Joan of Arc as both a symbol of divine guidance and a victim of historical and ecclesiastical forces.
