3 Times Denied

Breaking bread, pouring wine
Speaking mysteries that stretch my mind
But I failed to follow
The meaning of fish and bread that I swallowedDipping bread in a dish, calling out a traitor
I'm hoping you'll explain this sooner or later
I'm living with confusion, it's like a bad dream
Tell me, what's the conclusion?Three times denied
Thought I was strong but it seems I was wrong
Now I see, since now I've
Three times denied
Your name, I'm stained with shame
This wretchedness becomes my fameYour accusation, it plagues my mind
Your prophecy leaves me horrified
Denied you never would be
Of all of us, it would never be meThat would break your heart and make you moan
Forsake your name, leave you alone
With the sting of a coward's lie
The signed decree that declares you dieThree times denied
Thought I was strong but it seems I was wrong
Now I see, since now I've
Three times denied
Your name, I'm stained with shame
This wretchedness becomes my fameNightmares run through my brain
Cold sweat covers me like a sickening stain
In this place between asleep and awake
I shake from the cold and the fear of heartbreakAnd in the glow of the fire I turn into a liar
To scared to say, "I know"
And like a sheperdless sheep I run and I weep
As I hear the cock crowThree times denied
Thought I was strong but it seems I was wrong
Now I see, since now I've
Three times denied
Your name, I'm stained with shame
This wretchedness becomes my fameYou said three times
My son do you love me?
And I said three times, "You know that I do"You said three times
My son do you love me?
And I said three times, "You know that I do"You said three times
My son do you love me?
And I said three times, "You know that I do!"Three times denied
Thought I was strong but it seems I was wrong
Now I see, since now I've
Three times denied
Your name, I'm stained with shame
This wretchedness becomes my fame
