This is fact not fiction

Malta in the second war a target of both Berlin and Rome
For months upon this burnt brown isle the vicious bombs rained down
Then came the time in Mosta town a miracle occured
A bomb went through the historic dome of Mosta's famous church
Yes, through the dome it hammered, hit the wall, rolled out the door
But god was kindly on that day as the bomb lay on the floor
600 souls were in that church on the day the bomb burst through
Not a single person hurt and so the miracle grew
I don't believe in god, they had someone on their side
Without that famous miracle 600 might have died
I have been in that church seen the patch in the famous dome
Seen the scar above the door, the damage the bomb had done
Tis now a place of peace the famous Mosta Dome
But I have been in there my friends and seen the replica bomb

Thus was the miracle of Mosta
