I Dreamed I Saw St Augustine Lyrics - Songs From The Gutter - Thea Gilmore

I dreamed I saw St. Augustine alive as you or me 

Tearing through these quarters in the utmost misery

Come out, you gifted kings and queens and hear my sad complaint 

No martyr is among you now whom you can call your own 

But go on you way accordingly you 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 I cried
