Lyrics

When the pope kissed the ground A sniper fired an angry round Well it missed him by a whisker And the gunman could not be found They found the bullet in a chapel nearby It was embedded in the altar stone The statue virgin upon the altar Started bleeding on a Sunday And so the faithful, they came in thousands From as far as the Philippines To pray for healing from the virgin And to kiss that bullet clean Word got around about the virgin There were pilgrims, there were tourists Souvenirs and postcards Plastic virgins and bullet rosaries Many cripples started walking And the mute began to speak And the skeptics kept on talking It went on like this for weeks Sing hallelujah song, hallelujah song Sing hallelujah song, hallelujah Sing hallelujah song, hallelujah song Sing hallelujah song, hallelujah, hey Soon they found the statue shattered A bloodied rifle among the pieces They found the sniper above the altar Dead and tangled in the attic As they rifled through his jacket A bloodied wallet identified him And his surname was Emmanuel And his given name was Jesus So they buried him in the chapel With the rifle by his side And they bought another statue virgin With the proceeds from the healing Now she stands upon the altar Spring water runs from the bullet hole Now the chapel is a shrine They use the water to make wine Now when the pope kisses ground Bulletproof glass all around And that's the story of the virgin Sniper Jesus and the faithful That's the story of the virgin Sniper Jesus and the faithful That's the story of the virgin Sniper Jesus and the faithful Sing hallelujah song, hallelujah song Sing hallelujah song, hallelujah Sing hallelujah song, hallelujah song Sing hallelujah song, hallelujah, yeah Amen
