Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc
/C /C /G /G
as she came riding through the dark;
/A /A /D /D
no moon to keep her armour bright,
/A /A /C /C /D /D /D /D
no man to get her through this very smoky night.
/G /G /D /D
She said, "I'm tired of the war,
/C /C /G /G
I want the kind of work I had before,
/A /A /D /D
a wedding dress or something white
/A /A /C /C /D /D /D /D
to wear upon my swollen appetite."

Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way,
you know I've watched you riding every day
and something in me yearns to win
such a cold and lonesome heroine.
"And who are you?" she sternly spoke
to the one beneath the smoke.
"Why, I'm fire," he replied,
"And I love your solitude, I love your pride."
"Then fire, make your body cold,
La La La ...
I'm going to give you mine to hold,"
saying this she climbed inside
to be his one, to be his only bride.
And deep into his fiery heart
he took the dust of Joan of Arc,
and high above the wedding guests
he hung the ashes of her wedding dress.
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 fire, oh then she must be wood.
I saw her wince, I saw her cry,
I saw the glory in her eye.
Myself I long for love and light,
but must it come so cruel, and oh so bright?
La La La ...
Jeanne les flammes l'ont suivie
Quand elle chevauchait dans la nuit
Pas de lune pour l'éclairer
Ni personne pour la guider
Je suis si lasse de la guerre
J'ai tant envie des travaux de naguère
D'une longue robe de mariée
Pour habiller mon appétit grossier
La la La ...
Ah quel plaisir de l'entendre dire
Je te guettais avec tant d'ardeur
Tu sais bien que je désire
Jeanne ta solitude ta froideur
Qui es-tu demanda-t-elle
A cette voix dans la fumée
Je suis le feu voyons ma belle
Et ton orgueil de glace me fait rêver
Alors feu tiédis ton corps
Je te donne le mien sois fort
Sur ces mots Jeanne s'élançait
Pour l'épouser à jamais
Le coeur de braise avait gardé
Ta place Jeanne de mariée
Et la noce fut couronnée
De la robe toute noire et brûlée
Le coeur de braise avait gardé
Ta place Jeanne de mariée
Elle a compris c'éait son lot
Que pour qu'il brille elle devait être fagot
J'ai vu ses cris, vu sa douleur
J'ai vu la gloire dans ses pleurs
Je n'sais comment peuvent s'allier
Tant de lumière, tant de cruauté.
