Lyric discussion by Delta-V 

Cover art for Maid of Orleans lyrics by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

I agree as to why there are no comments on this song, it's a triumph of a haunting melody coupled with lyrics brilliantly written by Andy McClusky, who is obviously in awe (or in love) with the image and aura of Joan of Arc. It is not the only time that she has been mentioned in his songs. The woman in the video is stunning too, but that's just my personal opinion! I would like to think that the original Joan of Arc might actually enjoy this song, though whether it would translate into French very well is anyone's guess.
