Lyrics:
now the flames they followed joan of arc
as she came riding through the dark
no moon to keep her armor bright,
no man to get her through this dark and, smoky night
she said Im tired of the war,
I want the kind of work I had before
a wedding dress or something white,
to wear upon my swollen appetite
lalala........
well Im glad to hear you talk this way,
Ive watched you riding every day
and something in me, yearns to win,
such a cold, such a lonesome heroine
and who are you, she sternly spoke,
to the one beneath the smoke
why, Im fire, he replied and I love your solitude,
I love your pride
lalala....
well then fire make your body cold,
Im gonna give you mine to hold
and saying this, she climbed inside,
to be his one, to be his only bride
then deep into his fiery heart,
he took the dust of joan of arc
and high above all the wedding guests,
he hung the ashes of her lovely wedding dress
lalala...
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 eyes
myself I long for love and light
but must it come so cruel, must it be so bright.
