Transverberation

[Verse 1]

I have been staggering

Ever since the shot in Rome

On wednesday May 13th, 1981

[Verse 2]

The golden ball saw it all

Down through the ages

In childbed and deathbed

[Pre-Chorus]

Flooded with light

The Daughters of the Church

[Chorus]

St. Teresa of Ávila

St. Teresa of Lisieux

[Verse 3]

They were rewarded by God

For loving him

They knew the forms

Of the transverberation

[Verse 4]

A spiritual wounding of the heart

In the form of a mystical vision

A physical wounding of the heart

By a dart or a flame of love

[Chorus] (x2)

St. Teresa of Ávila

St. Teresa of Lisieux
