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 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
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

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
