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)
