In the b
road daylight of a Summer’s day,
On the
Cork to Dublin motorway.
Su
ddenly the singing birds,
Were startled in their s
ong.
In the qu
iet of that moment,
Our wor
ld went out of kilter.
In that split second,
Ver
onica was gon
e.
But you
will never silence her,
Your story will be written,
Her s
pirit won’t rest easy,
Until
her job is d
one.
With fi
sts and boots you broke her bones,
You gun
ned her down at home,
But as s
oon as she was able,
She fa
ced you once aga
in.
Veronica, Veronica, Veronica, w
arrior woman,
Veronica, Veronica, Veronica,
I offer you this s
ong.
You wh
o made the phone call,
And y
ou who took the message down,
You w
ho hired the hit men,
And you who hatched the pl
an,
You w
ho drew the money down,
And y
ou who paid it over,
You
who remain silent,
You ar
e guilty, every o
ne.
Veronica, Veronica, Veronica, w
arrior woman,
Veronica, Veronica, Veronica,
I offer you this s
ong.
In the b
road daylight of a Summer’s day,
On the
Cork to Dublin motorway.
In that split second,
Ver
onica was gon
e.
