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 I'm 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
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Well I'm glad to hear you talk this way
I've watched you riding every day
And there's something in me that yearns to end
Such a cold such a lonesome wind
And who are you
She sturdly spoke
To the one beneath the smoke
Why on fire you reply
And I love your solitude
And I love your pride
La la la la la
Well then fire
Make your body cold
I'm 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 these wedding guests
He hung the ashes
Of a lovely wedding dress
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
It was deep into
His fiery heart
He took the dust of joan of arc
And then she clearly understood
If he was right
Oh she must be would
I saw her wings
I saw her cry
I saw the glory in her eye
Myself I'd long for love and lace
But must it come so cruel
Must it be so brave
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la love la
La la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la
