White Skull Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saints appeared to me you must help the King
Leave your home and follow the sign
An Angel's voice will guide you so far
Bad girl what are you saying
You are a liar who cheat us
In your eyes I read a big fraud
Heretics tribunal
Your soul is telling the truth
This is the way to Chinon
There you'll find the King
Save the King and win the war
They are waiting for your command
[chorus]
Come on my brave and draw your swords
Follow me the battle rages on
Have no mercy for the enemy
We want our land free
We've lost the war blood on the field
I was caught from the other side
The English command touched my faith
Bishop Cauchon tried me at Rouen
By fraud I was condemned
By fraud I was sacrificed
My King where are you now
For you I'll die
Bad Girl you must die
Bad Girl you told us a lie
Burn Maid of Orleans
Devil in your mind
The lyrics of White Skull's song Maid of Orleans tell the story of Joan of Arc, a teenage girl who claimed that she had received visions from God to aid the French in the Hundred Years' War against the British. The first stanza describes her initial vision, where saints appear and urge her to help the King of France by following an angel's voice. However, when she tries to persuade others to believe her, they accuse her of lying and fraud. Despite this, Joan continues on her mission and eventually leads the French to victory against the enemy. The chorus calls for her bravery and strength in battle, but ultimately the last stanza depicts her downfall. Joan is captured by the British and sentenced to death for heresy and witchcraft. Even in the face of her execution, Joan remains loyal to her King and country.
