I dreamed I saw St. Augustine
Alive as you or me
Tearing through these quarters
In the utmost misery
With a blanket underneath his arm
And 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, ye gifted kings and queens
And hear my sad complaint
No martyr is among you now
Whom you can call your own
Go on your way accordingly
But know you're not alone"
I dreamed I saw St. Augustine
Alive with fiery breath
And I dreamed I was amongst the ones
That put him out to d**h
Oh, I awoke in anger
So alone and terrified
I put my fingers against the gla**
And bowed my head and cried
