I was born in France, called the "Maid of Orleans" Led by the voices of the Saints I went to the Court dressed in men's clothes To save my people from the yoke I was given troops to destroy the English roots And to crown the Dauphin at Reims I'm not a man searching the glory I'm just the hand chosen to fight It's a long way to our freedom I was betrayed. I'm burning at the stake My own blood sold me in the battlefield Charles the King made no attemps to save me I won't be free till the day of my death The pyre is light. I see the end I'm not a man searching the glory I'm just the hand chosen to fight It's a long way to our freedom I was betrayed. I'm burning at the stake I'd rather die than live chained in this cell I hold to what I have already said I won't be free till the day of my death The pyre is light. I see the end I'm not a man searching the glory I'm just the hand chosen to fight It's a long way to our freedom I was betrayed. I'm burning at the stake
I really didnt expect myself to like this, but her voice and the generic sound and the great story caught my ear. I cant help but dreaming away.. What a girl Joan of Arc was though. But it just shows how far determination and belief can get you. Though she was burned alive, she was only 19 years old and liberated more of France then any king ever could.
She was not determined and her beliefs made her a Saint. She was canonized in 1920. by Pope Benedict XV. and her trial was revisited already in 1456., twenty five years after her heroic death on stake.
***** Alfred said in an interview that these new re-recordings are more a rock style version than a power metal version thats why the drums are "less" power metal even the whole new album Roberto didn't use china cymbals and the voice is in a lower tone cause thats his real singing when he joined the band he used to sing The new World, in the heart of stone in a high pitch live like Elisa used to. The solos are weak yes, cause Enrik in that time didnt record the solos was another member who already left the band many years ago. Enrik's solos are always weak and in an ugly tone
The re-recording is way too clean and pretty much robs all of the soul and energy from the song. The vocals are too soft and unemotional, and it's weird to hear a man singing the role of Joan.
A woman sings this song... or rather used too, she left the band 2003 and she was replaced with a guy. I don't blame you, they have a fairly similiar voice, easy to mix up.
La mejor banda de heavy español y con diferencia. Una lástima que terminarán cada uno por un lado. Yo los vi cuando estaba Elisa y fue de los mejores conciertos en los que he estado. Además también tuve la suerte de que salíamos por el mismo garito y los veía mucho (el after dark)
@@El-Villano-De-La-Pelicula Los primeros discos con Elisa tienen mucha mas influencia y elementos del sonido de Rhapsody/Luca Turilli que de Helloween.
Sandra Bollada Escucha el cover que hizo dark moor de helloween de la cancion halloween en el disco tribute to helloween parte 1.También te recomendaría escuchar el grupo sonata arctica, especialmente los 3 primeros discos. Saludos.
Fell in love with Elisa C. Martin through her Fairytale Album. Really love her voice and performance, which is very different from many of those operatic divas in metal.
I have been looking for a song like this for so long. I'm glad I found it. Actually by accident when I was looking for a metal cover of Maid of Orleans by OMD.
Born lowly Jeanne d'Arc daughter of a tax collector and farmer, who at the time was simply expected to marry and fade into obscurity. Yet to this day no one speaks of the lowly peasant girl Jeanne d'Arc who spent her life wishing for a prince charming to come. We speak of a girl who became a legend, we speak of the peasant girl who became St. Joan of Arc, we speak of the legendary Maid of Orleans, we speak of a patriot who united her nation and defied the might of England in Medieval France's darkest hour, and turned the tide of the Hundred Years War
Ya the fact that we have a song and movies about her hundreds of years later means her sacrifice was not in vain. I imagine there are many other people who have laid such sacrifice but are forgotten by history. At least this one wasn't forgotten!
Joan of Arc, a lowly peasant who did what no King of France ever could, unite the country and turn the tide of the Hundred Years War, and show that even though France lost battles they could still win the war
+snakes3425 Pity about that whole Welsh longbow thing. That's why the "two finger salute" is the European equivalent to the American middle finger; the French would cut off the first two fingers of the right hand of any English archer they captured. They had the moral high ground by not executing prisoners but said prisoners would no longer be able to use a bow capable of putting a bodkin tip arrow through a French knight's armor at 300 yards. English archers would wave their fingers at French armies before engaging as a threat, basically meaning "I can use a 200 lb draw longbow, I have armor piercing arrows, and very soon I'm going to kill you with these two fingers." Seriously, look up the Battle of Agincourt.
+Mike Shuba That's a myth, why the heck would they bother performing a complicated operation of cutting off two fingers of a man that could more easily just be killed. Also arrows could rarely penetrate full plate harness, though they were certainly deadly against ordinary infantry in Gambesons or Aketins, or those clad in mail alone. If the Archer had good enough aim you could penetrate the gaps in the armour. In truth it was the English use of dismounted men at arms and better infantry tactics at a time when mountain Knights had lost their effectiveness, as well as superior leadership that gave them their victories during the hundred years war, though the longbow and the men who used them should not be scoffed at as it required a great deal of skill and practice as well as strength to use it.
Elisa Martin realmente increible, en mi opinion la mejor voz femenina del metal. El cover que interpreto de helloween de la cancion halloween es increible, me gusta mas que la oriinal. Obviamente no es lo mismo interpretar una cancion ya compuesta por otro artista, que hacerle arreglos a la cancion. Igualmente increible esa version y Elisa Martin sin palabras.
I like the part in the middle where we hear her normal voice, before switching mid-verse back to her epic manly Power Metal voice! Everytime you see an androgynous metal singer, you tend to think "that's probably a European dude with long hair", but this is one of the few times it's the other way around!
This is Elisa C Martin, the female singer who Dark Moor started with in their begginings. Alfred's first album with Dar Moor is "Dark Moor", released in 2004
Spanish translation of the lyrics: (Traducción de la letra al español): Nací en Francia, fui llamada "La Doncella de Orléans". Guiada por las voces de los santos, fui a la corte vestida con ropa de hombre para salvar a mi pueblo del yugo. Me dieron tropas para destruir las raíces inglesas, y para cononar al dauphin (delfín) en Reims. No soy un hombre en busca de gloria, soy sólo la mano elegida para luchar. Aún falta mucho para (lograr) nuestra libertad, fui traicionada, estoy ardiendo en la hoguera. Mi propia sangre me vendió en el campo de batalla, Charles, el rey, no intentó salvarme. No seré libre hasta el día de mi muerte, la pira está siendo encendida, veo el final. No soy un hombre en busca de gloria, soy sólo la mano elegida para luchar. Aún falta mucho para (lograr) nuestra libertad, fui traicionada, estoy ardiendo en la hoguera. (Instrumental) Prefiero morir a vivir encadenada en esta celda, sostengo aquello que ya he dicho.

Aún falta mucho para (lograr) nuestra libertad, fui traicionada, estoy ardiendo en la hoguera.
Todo fue culpa del guitarrista/líder de la banda, no solo sacó a Elisa de la bando sino los otros miembros que demostraban más potencial (El otro guitarrista, el baterista y el tecladista) y también hacían sus propias composiciones y letras para los álbumes 🤷🏾♂️
This is amazing. I love the music, the lyrics, everything. It's hard, but not the hardest they've done, and i think i shall have to learn it. it's beautiful and amazing
Yeah, i think the same, tough her name is never mentioned on the song. But everybody knows that they're talking about her! In fact, thanks to this song I discovered that she was called the Maid of Orleans...
Love this song and how it captures it captures the essence of Joan of Arc. She is a true example of "Female Empowerment". Her flame burned short but burned bright, both literally and fugitively.
Yes, they use to have her, she´s gone since the last two albums ago Now she is in Dreamaker and is an amazing singer (By the way, her name is Elisa Martín) =)
Man Joan is awesome. Evan if you don't believe in the voices she's still badass. I personally do believe in the voices and that just cranks up her epic from 11out of 10 to 20 out of 10.
I don't get why this band is not bigger than they are. This is an amazing band with wonderful guitar work and a great vocalist! This is real talent!
Absolutely agree
Band went to hell when Elisa C Martin left.
I know I just discovered them and I’m all about it
I totally agree with you. It's one of the best metal bands ever.
I was born in France, called the "Maid of Orleans"
Led by the voices of the Saints
I went to the Court dressed in men's clothes
To save my people from the yoke
I was given troops to destroy the English roots
And to crown the Dauphin at Reims
I'm not a man searching the glory
I'm just the hand chosen to fight
It's a long way to our freedom
I was betrayed. I'm burning at the stake
My own blood sold me in the battlefield
Charles the King made no attemps to save me
I won't be free till the day of my death
The pyre is light. I see the end
I'm not a man searching the glory
I'm just the hand chosen to fight
It's a long way to our freedom
I was betrayed. I'm burning at the stake
I'd rather die than live chained in this cell
I hold to what I have already said
I won't be free till the day of my death
The pyre is light. I see the end
I'm not a man searching the glory
I'm just the hand chosen to fight
It's a long way to our freedom
I was betrayed. I'm burning at the stake
One of best bands of Spain.

@@impudentstrumpet2655 Yes, but saintified by God just after her death.
That's a dude singing
im not a man searching the glory , im just the hand chosen to fight.... absolutely awesome
This song puts me in such a great mood. I want to go on an adventure now.
thats the spirit of this music power metal is usually about mythology and fantasy. Its usually uplifting
So did Joan of Arc...
one of the best powermetal songs ever written
una de las mejores canciones cantadas por una mujer. aparte que la letra es increible elisa le pone un feeling insuperable
This entire album needs to be on Spotify!!!!!
+Mal Maelstrom Dark Moor re-recorded this song for their new album Project X gonna be out this November :D
YES!!!!!!!!!
+Daniel Cantú the new re-record is amazing, so as this one.
please check out our channel & discover the truth of Floor Jansen

Eliza tenía magia en la voz. Dark Moor con ella pudieron haber sido los Rhapsody españoles.
eliza podieron ser la mayor banda de todos los tiempos un saludo
Tan cierto... Bueno, yo diría que los Rhapsody españoles son Opera Magna, te los recomiendo
para mi lo fueron
yo diria Los helloween españoles
@@El-Villano-De-La-Pelicula Los primeros discos con Elisa tienen mucha mas influencia y elementos del sonido de Rhapsody/Luca Turilli que de Helloween.
That Guitar shred just gives you an Eargasm! Lol love that Sound.
Never heard this band before, I came here looking for the OMD song of the same name. Pretty good.
No matter the year or formation, this will be always Dark Moor's best song!
Super groupe !! je découvre et c'est tres bon !!!
Joan would be very pleased after hearing this, rest in peace Joan
Can I thumbs up twice?
Siguiendo los consejos de mi querido amigo José!! que bueno que está este grupo!

This song is so epic and tragic. Rest in peace, Joan!
Listen to this in 2024 :-)
Me estoy leyendo un libro sobre Juana de Arco y esta canción no hacía más que rondarme por la cabeza, al fin puedo oírla de nuevo!
Awesome voice. Awesome song. Brilliant.

I absolutely love this song, it's one of the best ever.

much love from the ATX....great music
Great song and cd. I love this cd. the first heavy metal band I see in concert with this album.
I like the part in the middle where we hear her normal voice, before switching mid-verse back to her epic manly Power Metal voice!

This song is amazing =3. I can't stop listening to it.
2019. Sigue siendo un temazo.
2021 y siempre lo será! saludos lml

Absolutely superb Power Metal here.

Simply great!

Fucking brilliant, great compilation of songs, obviously a lot of thought has went into this selection, keep up the good work.
those are the best bands ever
Nice melody
Joder con lo buenos que eran y se han echado a perder, que puta manía de ¨evolucionar¨ (involucionar)

Great voice!
great job. best song of jean d'Arc i ever heard
Fantastic!
A beautiful song for the most beautiful of maidens. It's a tragedy what happened to her.
@Imatrollyay the one you heard was their cover on Vidaldi's Winter. The piano part was a hidden bonus track.
Magnifique hommage à Sainte Jeanne d'Arc.
Unique BIC, BIC Like with best regards Julian
Love this song and how it captures it captures the essence of Joan of Arc.
She is a true example of "Female Empowerment". Her flame burned short but burned bright, both literally and fugitively.
Found this band early last year and this song will rule over 2013
@Aunrah01 lol I know what you mean. I became a huge fan of these guys through Pandora about a year ago.
대학교때 엄청 듣던 음악이네 ㅋㅋㅋ 역시 언제들어도 좋아!!!
Joan d'Arc.this is why i love Dark Moor and Thy Majestie ;D
I was looking for something else... but this is amazing!
This was highkey one of my favorite songs in fourth grade
beautiful!!
Yes, they use to have her, she´s gone since the last two albums ago
Now she is in Dreamaker and is an amazing singer
(By the way, her name is Elisa Martín) =)
I don't even care what the songs about this sounds fucking awesome
Power metal never fails to impress me x)
Man Joan is awesome. Evan if you don't believe in the voices she's still badass. I personally do believe in the voices and that just cranks up her epic from 11out of 10 to 20 out of 10.
Si, es muy guay, y es mi favorita.
loves this
I wish Dark Moor would make a song about Dominic Savio. It's right up their alley
One of the hyms of the Spanish Power Metal !!!
Epic.
Hammer!!
Amo la voz de Elisa
Incredible voice on this chick.....
Love the Eliza voice!!!
There's enough idiocy in the comments, just listen to the damn song and have an eargasm.
I'd rather die than live chained in this cell, luv this part
Hail i live in France, in the village where Jehanne D'arc was born and i fucking love this song ! Long live to The maid of Orleans and to Dark Moor
Yes, the same.
as seen on reddit sums it up prefectly
great love it
what i didnt leave listening this awesome music?!!
Never heard this band before. I'm on a quest to find some new power metal bands to listen to and this one is pretty fucking sweet.
Just found this band they are pretty good
