I dreamed i saw St. Augustine
Alive as you [and/or (2)] me
Tearing through these quarters in
The utmost misery
With a blanket underneath his arm
And a coat of solid gold
Searching for [the/those (2)] very souls
Whom already have been sold.

"Arise, arise", he cried so loud
[With/In (2)] 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
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 
          / Without a place to stand or hide (2)
I put my fingers against the glass
And bowed my head and cried.
