Atrocity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If Joan of Arc had a heart,
would she give it as a gift
To such as me who longs to see,
how a legend oughta be
Had dreams to give her heart away,
She cared so much,
she offered up her body to the grave
The opening lines of the song "Maid of Orleans" by Atrocity are an interesting take on the story of Joan of Arc. The singer poses a hypothetical question about the famous historical figure, wondering what would happen if she had a heart and would she give it away to someone like him. The lyrics then move onto the singer reminiscing about his own dreams and desires, imagining Joan of Arc's life as an orphan, undertaking her historical battles, and ultimately sacrificing her life.
The chorus highlights Joan of Arc's selflessness and willingness to give her life in service of her beliefs. The singer acknowledges the magnitude of her sacrifice and wonders if he too could have the same level of courage and conviction. Overall, the song paints a vivid picture of a legendary figure and explores themes of sacrifice, selflessness, and the pursuit of one's dreams.
Line by Line Meaning
If Joan of Arc had a heart,
If the famous heroine Joan of Arc had emotions,
would she give it as a gift
would she freely offer it to others,
To such as me who longs to see,
To someone like me who wishes to witness,
how a legend oughta be
the true nature of what it means to be a great historical figure.
Had dreams to give her heart away,
She had aspirations to give her love and passion to others,
like an orphan along the way
just like a lonely child without family or guidance,
She cared so much,
Joan of Arc felt deeply,
she offered up her body to the grave
so much so that she was willing to sacrifice her own life for her beliefs.
