Joan

Lyrics

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 high 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
 The sword of St. Michael, the blood of St. 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

 Christem ducem
 Poena fortis
 Et sanguinis effusio
 Corda terant
 Ut te quaerant
 Ieso, nostra redemptio
 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
 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
 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
