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 swallowed?
 Dipping bread in a dish, calling out a trader
 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 fame
 Your accusation, it plagues my mind
 Your prophecy leaves me horrified
 Denied you never would be
 Of all of us, it would never be me
 That 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 die
 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
 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"
 And like a sheperdless sheep I run and I weep
 As I hear the cock crow
 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
 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!"
 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
