Joan of Arc
War
England and France
For one hundred years
Winning and losing
France
Losing ground
Lost the king
Need a hero
A girl
On a small farm
Voices in her head
Twelve years old
A maiden
Dress in men's clothes
Going to war
Wielding a sword
Orleans
City under siege
England wants it
France needs it
Dauphin
Man to be king
Need a hero
To win him the crown
Joan
Need an army
To save the city
And save France
Seventeen
Led the army
To great victory
At Orleans
Voices
In her head
Praise her plans
And her victories
Crown
Placed upon the head
Making a new king
Charies the VII
Captured
Buraondy sold her
To her enemies
The English
Trail
Declared to be a witch
The voices were
Devils not God
Repentance
Voice were God
Victories were
His will not hers
Fire
Burned at the stacks
A witch and hentic
Later pope declared a saint
Voices murmur
In the flame
Of tossed ashes
