3 Times Denied Lyrics

3 Times Denied lyrics

Verse 1

_____________



You broke the bread, You poured the wine,

You spoke your mysteries to stretch my mind

See I didn't quite follow,

How was your 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 living with confusion, It's like a bad dream,

Tell me, what's the conclusion?



Chorus

________



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



Verse 2

_____________



Your accusation, it plagues my mind

Your prophecy leaves me horrified

Denied you ain't never gonna be,

Of all your crew, how could you think it was 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



Chorus

___________



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 ain't never gonna be,

Of all your crew, how could you think it was 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



[Chorus]



Verse 3

_____________



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



[Chorus]



You said three times

My son do you love me?

And I said 'My Lord God, you know that I do'



You said three times

My son do you love me?

And I said three times 'Lord, You know that I do'



You said three times

My son do you love me?

And I said 'My Lord God, you know that I do'



[Chorus]
