3 Times Denied Lyrics - Singles - 38th Parallel

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 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 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
