A gentle mystic sound - ringing in her ears - strange vibration fill the air Before her eyes - an angelical appearance - surrounded by a magic light Frightened, mesmerized by a wondrous sight - she asks herself - is it all real?
Voices soft and kind - penetrate her mind - a message from a higher sphere Saying: "Don't be afraid - you've been chosen to fight - guided by celestial advice" Destined to end all torture and pain - don't hesitate
She's but a virgin - a native maid of Lorraine Disregarding all danger - only fears still remain The heavenly order - to turn our fate - on battlefields of war
Imperative instructions - echoing inside - belief dispersing inner doubts Vocational assignment - encouraged she obeys - her trust in god is guiding her way Her soul ablaze by this heavenly call - she carries on
[Jeanne:] "I heard a voice, sublime and awe-inspiring, surrounded by a radiant light. Then I saw the shape of an angel. He spoke softly but commandingly, and revealed to me a mission from God. He said that I had been chosen to go with the army to expel the enemy from our suffering country. He demanded that I first liberate the besieged city of Orleans, and lead our Dauphin Charles to Reims to be crowned and consecrated, that he might receive his rightful inheritance as king. He dispersed any fears I had at first by saying that I would be directed by angels from now on and I should trust in God. I vowed to remain a virgin for the fulfillment of my task and entrusted myself to the command of the angels. I know they will guide me safely"
[Jean de Metz:] "As her first and closest companion on the journey of her mission, she told me, Jean de Metz, of her mandate through the angel's revelation. I trust her and the guidance of her heavenly voices and will at all times unfailingly remain at her side wherever the path should lead"Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
