Lyrics & Music by yasu
The public order blooms in sin, raping and pillaging
Blood stains the land...has God abandoned this country?
The people collapse with hunger and illness, and in fighting with one another have lost the only way
The flames of the unending war have just gone out
Standing on the wasted land, the wind violently blowing, a girl stands alone
Drawing the sign of the cross on her small chest
Offering kisses and murmuring while she kneels on the ground
"Right now, right here, I take a vow. To work in that God's name..."
Inside that girl, see a goddess meeting with the warrior she wishes to become
Riding through the deaths of friends, aimed toward Orleans
While listening to the voice of God, that girl led that country to freedom
Drawing the sign of the cross on her small chest
The front lines washed in blood, tears dried as well on the blade of a sword
Given victory and glory, on that jihad [1]
Messiah...the girl who works miracles
Messiah..."Vow. In the name of God
Messiah...in the final conflict fight for the end of this office"
MESSIAH her name is Jeanne d'Arc
Meeting at the last battle, the governor returned to the palm of the hand
If there's no utilitarian value in her, off her...the modern era is the same
Once praised as a saint, now given the treatment of a witch, the girl stands alone
Accusing her of crimes misrepresenting God, facing the execution grounds
Her vow becomes a prayer questioning God...
"What should we do in the name of righteousness?"
Messiah...the girl who works miracles
Messiah...while dying myself with blood as well
Messiah...in the final conflict, fight for the end of this office...
MESSIAH her name is Jeanne d'Arc

[1] Z-HARD is yasu's word for "jihad". So close...and yet so, so far. I reflected that in the translation to allow the lyrics to actually make sense.
