I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine
I dreamed I saw Saint Augustine
Alive as you or me
Tearing through these quarters in
The utmost misery
With a blanket underneath his arm
A coat of solid gold
Searching for the very souls
Already have been sold
"Arise, arise", he cried so loud
In a voice without restraint
"Come out, you gifted kings and queens
And hear my sad complaint
No martyr is among you now
Whom you can call your own
So go on your way accordingly
Know you're not alone"
I dreamed I saw Saint Augustine
Alive with fiery breath
I dreamed I was among the ones
That put him out to death
Oh, I awoke in anger
So alone and terrified
I put my fingers against the glass
Bowed my head and cried
Alive as you or me
Tearing through these quarters in
The utmost misery
With a blanket underneath his arm
A coat of solid gold
Searching for the very souls
Already have been sold
"Arise, arise", he cried so loud
In a voice without restraint
"Come out, you gifted kings and queens
And hear my sad complaint
No martyr is among you now
Whom you can call your own
So go on your way accordingly
Know you're not alone"
I dreamed I saw Saint Augustine
Alive with fiery breath
I dreamed I was among the ones
That put him out to death
Oh, I awoke in anger
So alone and terrified
I put my fingers against the glass
Bowed my head and cried
