Joan

I am as God made me

I have no desire

For a mouth at my breast

Or a pot on the fire

I heed the higher voices

I go where I'm sent

To mow down the men

Who refuse to repent

I'm a scythe

In a field full of briars

And they won't call me mother

Or sister, or wife

They will know me or not

By the strength of my life

I will burn with

A light of my own.

They'll know me as Joan

They'll know me as Joan

The courage of Catherine

The flames of the forge

Sword of Saint Michael

The blood of Saint George

I take what I'm given

I follow my truth

I gladly abandon

The bloom of my youth

I'm the lashing

That falls from

The scourge

And they won't call me mother

Or sister, or wife

They will know me or not

By the strength of my life

I will burn with a

Light of my own

They'll know me as Joan

They'll know me as Joan

I fight where god tells me

I never ask why

I've bloodied the devil

With steel from on high

I kill without consequence

Heed no man's law

I sift out the righteous

Like grain from the straw

I am judgment

And heaven

Is nigh

And they won't call me mother

Or sister, or wife

They will know me or not

By the strength of my life

I will burn with a

Light of my own

They'll know me as Joan

And they won't call me mother

Or sister, or wife

They will know me or not

By the strength of my life

I will burn with a

Light of my own

They'll know me as Joan

No they won't call me mother

Or sister, or wife

They will know me or not

By the strength of my life

I will burn with a

Light of my own

They'll know me as Joan

No they won't call me mother

Or sister, or wife

They will know me or not

By the strength of my life

I will burn with a

Light of my own

They'll know me as Joan

They won't call me mother

Or sister, or wife

They will know me or not

By the strength of my life

I will burn with a

Light of my own

They'll know me as Joan

They'll know me as Joan
