The Vision Of Peregrine Worsthorne - McCarthy

In Fleet Street I lay down to sleep

In the seediest journalist bar

And in my sleep a vision I dreamed

From afar

In celestial mist made of light

An angel that blinds mortal eyes

This vision I knew knew no wrong

Only right

He took my hand and showed me things I’d never dreamed

The veil blinding me was lifted

And truth shone, a beacon beaming

The vision said softly to me

«The people are becoming to free

And if you want to sever the tea (?)

Oh baby

Peregrine is looking grim

The economy is falling to pieces

It seems quite hopeless

Stand steadfastly by the friendly in exchange with free

Broadcast calls for order and law

Yet all shall be well, all shall be well"

The Holy Ghost bid me be bold

For wisdom that’s weight out of old (?)

Could will if it was spread among men

Once again

The vision departed me then

And I awoke cold and distant

I knew my mission
