[Verse 1]
France is ablaze in the darkest of days
Call for a savior, and hope is rising
A woman adored with the power of the sword
Noble or not, but this is what you sought
[Pre-Chorus]
Know that she has been chosen
She will carry the mark
Let us shine up the starlight
For here comes the dark
[Chorus]
Will you fight to be free
Tell me, what do you see
A soldier, a man, or the Maiden of Orléans?
With the fire and steel
She is breaking the wheel
As the lightning and thunder
Awaiting the wonder to come
[Verse 2]
Resistance begins with the crown of a king
Spearhead the army and wield the banner
Siege of Orléans, where her bravery's been seen
Lead the attack, fall, rise up and come back
[Pre-Chorus]
We are all part of her story
One who carries the mark
Oh, Memento mori
Do not fear the dark
[Chorus]
Will you fight to be free
Tell me, what do you see
A soldier, a man, or the Maiden of Orléans?
With the fire and steel
She is breaking the wheel
As the lightning and thunder
Awaiting the wonder to come
[Bridge]
Shunned, betrayed, revealed is your fate
Where are you now when judgement awaits?
A light, a hope, the darkest of days
Now show us the way, Your Grace
Winds are changing, look to the rose
Learn to keep your enemies close
There's valour in chains, when innocence burn
Oh, Lord, will we ever learn?
[Guitar Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Even though she was chosen
Engulfed by a spark
She will live on forever
For she is Jeanne d'Arc
[Chorus]
Will you fight to be free
Tell me, what do you see
A soldier, a man, or the Maiden of Orléans?
With the fire and steel
She is breaking the wheel
As the lightning and thunder, a wonder
Fight to be free
Tell me, what do you see
A soldier, a man, or the Maiden of Orléans?
With the fire and steel
She is breaking the wheel
As the lightning and thunder
Awaiting the wonder to come
