Standard (EADGBE)

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

Whom 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 ye now

Whom you can call your own,

So 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 death.

Oh, I awoke in anger,

So alone and terrified,

I put my fingers against the glass

And bowed my head and cried.

The chords fade out to the end
