Joan of Arc (Original Song)

Another original song from Rob and Holly, music by Holly, lyrics by Rob :) Hope you like it. :)

Here are the lyrics...

Joan of Arc

Born in a time of war and grief
In a time of pain
She saw her land was not her own
It was under English reign

She heard a voice from above
The voice of her dear Lord
He told her to take back her land
With blood and with sword

She was known for courage great
She would never flea
Her King sent her to Orleans
And she won the victory

She was taken prisoner
Near the town of Compiegne
She was taken there before the court
And was tried for heresy

She heard a voice from above
The voice of her dear Lord
He told her to take back her land
With blood and with sword

She was a nation's own hero
At the age of seventeen
But two years later then she died
With a grace so seldom seen

When they tied her to the stake
And lit the raging flame
For then her body they could kill
But never kill her name

She heard a voice from above
The voice of her dear Lord
He told her to take back her land
With blood and with sword
He told her to take back her land
With blood and with sword
With blood and with sword
With blood and with sword

As you've covered a few Leonard Cohen's songs already, you should also try Cohens "Joan of Arc"!

Nice work! Your voice has a very pleasant quality to it, as a singer/songwriter myself I know how crazy it is to get work out there, best of luck!
