Three Times Denied

Breaking bread, pouring wine,

Speaking mysteries to stretch my mind

I failed to follow the meaning Of 'flesh in the bread' that I swallowed

Dipping bread in a dish calling out a traitor

I'm hoping you'll explain this sooner or later

I'm dizzy with confusion

In the midst of a dream awaiting conclusion.

(Chorus)

Three times denied

(Though 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.)

Your accusation plagues my mind

Your prophecy leaves me horrified

Denied you never would be,

Of all of us it would never be me.

To break your heart and make you moan

Forsake your name leave you alone

With the sting of a cowards lie

The signed decree that declares you die.

(Chorus)

Nightmares 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 heartbreak

And in the glow of the fire

I turn into a liar

To scared to say 'I know'

Like a sheperdless sheep I run and I weep

As I hear the cock crow...

(Chorus)

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'

You said three times:

'My son do you love me?'

And I said three times: 'You know that I do!'

(Chorus)
