Jeanne d’Arc lyrics

[Verse 1]
They crowned me with their empty praise
Hung my name in sacred frames
They raised their flags, they swore me in
Then tied my hands when the tide changed

[Pre-Chorus]
First, they cheered, then they cursed me
Spoke in tongues, swore I was unholy
Lit the torches, fed the fury
Watched me fall but called it glory

[Chorus]
And now I stand in the fire they made
Smoke in my lungs, but I won’t brеak
They say I led them straight to war
Now thеy don’t claim me anymore
Tell me, was I ever yours?

[Verse 2]
I hear their voices in the crowd
Chanting words they swore out loud
But if I burned for what they asked
Show me who wore that mask

[Pre-Chorus]
First, they prayed, then they damned me
Changed their minds like shifting branches
Signed my fate in ink and ashes
Built their throne upon my casket
[Chorus]
And now I stand in the fire they made
Smoke in my lungs, but I won’t break
They say I led them straight to war
Now they don’t claim me anymore
Tell me, was I ever yours?

[Bridge]
They said I was chosen, sent from the sky
But faith turns to fire when power’s on trial
They whisper my name like a curse in the dark
Once their salvation, now Jeanne d’Arc
They watch as the embers rise with the wind
Call it justice, call it a sin
But history bends, and flames fade to sparks
One day, they’ll pray to Jeanne d’Arc

[Chorus]
Now I stand in the fire they made
Smoke in my lungs, but I won’t break
They say I led them straight to war
Now they don’t claim me anymore
But tell me, were you ever mine?
