Eloy - Jeanne d'Arc lyrics

A revelation from an angel Whose voice still echoes in your mind Brought you the message of a higher destination That to fulfill you were a**igned A native maid of tender, age and dedication Born in a dark and restless age You had no doubts but fears and asked the reasons why But still you carried on There will come the day of liberation and glory We'll be relieved from all the torture and pain After fighting war for values sacred and holy In the history of mankind your name will remain Guided by your fearless force they take up arms and heed your call Now the prophecy comes true, the tyrant's slain in the name of God In a rage of war Out of the seeds of superstition And guided by a devious plan The tension grows as you approach the inquisition For to your fate you must resign Your deeds of valour done, your followers desert you Before the jury now you stand A final sacrifice on your celestial mission Condemned to burn alive Jeanne! Jeanne! Deny the voices in your mind Jeanne! Jeanne! There's still a chance to stay alive Jeanne! Jeanne! We pray for you, we know you're right Jeanne! Jeanne! Say why go this far Light, You're gliding into light With angels at your side Embracing you so tight To shelter you from pain They sentenced you in vain Your spirit will arise To melt with heaven's light Eternal and divine Your sacrifice will shine You left a warning sign You martyr and you saint You worded no complaint As at the end you faint To rise to heaven's light There will come the day of liberation and glory You'll be relieved from all your torture and pain After fighting war for values sacred and holy In the history of mankind your name will remain Light, You're gliding into light With angels at your side Embracing you so tight To shelter you from pain They sentenced you in vain Your spirit will arise To melt with heaven's light Eternal and divine Your sacrifice will shine You left a warning sign You martyr and you saint You worded no complaint As at the end you faint To rise to heaven's light
