the song is based on the story of a penitent nun from the 12th century who died, went to the other side and came back with stories of the torments of hell...she would mortify herself in horrible ways, and would show no scars...she was said to be able to levitate to get away from the smell of the sinful...and would hide in odd places to avoid them.
