dungeon and she walks down the hallway

with her chains hanging from her

then the doors of the courtroom Oh

[Music]

She sees all the great English

aristocrats and all the great

philosophers and doctors of theology

[Music]

They sit in a circle above her all those

stone faces they're here in the

courtroom to make her confess she's a

liar and a blasphemer and that the boy

says she has listened to come from the

devil and not from God because if they

can make her say that then her name

would be fouled and ruined the French

have only one weapon left the name of

Joan of Arc and the belief that God is

help to them through her cochon the

bishop in charge of the trial speaks do

you consider yourself in a state of

grace

if I'm not I hope God will put me there

and if I am I hope he'd keep me there

we want you to speak the truth truth is

a sacred gift from God who you believe

that yes

but people have been hired for speaking

it

when did Satan first command you to slay

the English the voices of my Saint

commanded me to fight for France

[Music]

You went into battle I led the battle

[Music]

Yes and what was the English doing on

the soil of France why didn't they keep

their bat at home where French starts

good and spill it.

Whatever you do to me I will not say

what isn't true and the truth is I'm a

peasant girl

Dover me and cooked and sold and tended

the sheep but God spoke to me

through his entry Michael and he told me
