Transverberation Lyrics - Ulver

I have been staggering 

Ever since the shot in Rome 

On Wednesday May 13th, 1981 

The golden ball saw it all 

Down through the ages 

In childbed and deathbed 

Flooded with light 

The Daughters of the church 

St. Teresa of Avila 

St. Teresa of Lisieux 

They were rewarded by God 

For loving him unconditionally 

They knew the forms 

Of the transverberation 

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
