[Thea Gilmore - I Dreamed I Saw St Augustine lyrics]
I dreamed I saw St Augustine
Live 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 who
Already have been sold
"Arise, arise" He spoke so loud in
A voice pulled down with strain "Come out
Ye gifted kings and queens and
Hear my sad complaint
No mortal is among you know who
You can call your own
So go on your way accordingly
And call your Lord alone"
I dreamed I saw St Augustine
Live with fiery breath
I dreamed I was amongst the ones
Who called him unto death
Oh, I awoke in anger so I wasn't terrified
I put my fingers against the glass
And bowed my head and cried
I put my fingers against the glass
And bowed my head and cried
Live 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 who
Already have been sold
"Arise, arise" He spoke so loud in
A voice pulled down with strain "Come out
Ye gifted kings and queens and
Hear my sad complaint
No mortal is among you know who
You can call your own
So go on your way accordingly
And call your Lord alone"
I dreamed I saw St Augustine
Live with fiery breath
I dreamed I was amongst the ones
Who called him unto death
Oh, I awoke in anger so I wasn't terrified
I put my fingers against the glass
And bowed my head and cried
I put my fingers against the glass
And bowed my head and cried
