maid of orleans

• bir omd şarkısı.
  
  if joan of arc had a heart, would she give it as a gift
  to such as me who longs to see, how a legend oughta be
  
  had dreams to give her heart away, like an orphan along the way
  she cared so much, she offered up her body to the grave

  ayrıca nefis dark moor parçası. sözleri:
  
  i was born in france, called the "maid of orleans"
  led by the voices of the saints
  i went to the court dressed in men´s clothes
  to save my people from the yoke
  i was given troops to destroy the english roots
  and to crown the dauphin at reims
  
  chorus
  i´m not a man searching the glory
  i´m just the hand chosen to fight
  it´s a long way to our freedom
  i was betrayed. i´m burning at the stake
  
  my own blood sold me in the battlefield
  charles the king made no attemps to save me
  i won´t be free till the day of my death
  the pyre is light. i see the end
  
  chorus
  i´d rather die than live chained in this cell
  i hold to what i have already said
  i won´t be free till the day of my death
  the pyre is light. i see the end
  
  chorus

  i had a vision i was thirteen
  saints appeared to me you must help the king
  leave your home and follow the sign
  an angel's voice will guide you so far
  bad girl what are you saying
  you are a liar who cheat us
  in your eyes i read a big fraud
  heretics tribunal
  ok we believe you
  your soul is telling the truth
  this is the way to chinon
  there you'll find the king
  
  save the king and win the war
  they are waiting for your command
  
  come on my brave and draw your swords
  follow me the battle rages on
  have no mercy for the enemy
  we want our land free
  
  we've lost the war blood on the field
  i was caught from the other side
  the english command touched my faith
  bishop cauchon tried me at rouen
  by fraud i was condemned
  by fraud i was sacrificed
  my king where are you now
  for you i'll die
  bad girl you must die
  bad girl you told us a lie
  burn maid of orleans
  devil in your mind
• hoş bir klibi de vardır. ancak, asıl mevzuya gelelim: bu parçayı her dinlediğimde '80'ler o kadar da fena değildi yea' diyecek oluyorum ama sonra aklıma perma geliyor, vatka geliyor. nostalji ne garip bir duygu diye içimden geçiriyorum.
