38th Parallel - 3 Times Denied lyrics
rate meVerse 1<br />
_____________<br />
Breaking bread, Pouring wine,<br />
Speaking mysteries that stretch my mind<br />
But I failed to follow,<br />
The meaning of fish and bread that I swallowed?<br />
Dipping bread in a dish, calling out a trader<br />
I'm hoping you'll explain this sooner or later<br />
I'm living with confusion, It's like a bad dream,<br />
Tell me, what's the conclusion?<br />
Chorus<br />
________<br />
Three times denied<br />
Thought I was strong but it seems I was wrong<br />
Now I see, since now I've three times denied<br />
Your name--I'm stained with shame<br />
This wretchedness becomes my fame<br />
Verse 2<br />
_____________<br />
Your accusation, it plagues my mind<br />
Your prophecy leaves me horrified<br />
Denied you never would be,<br />
Of all of us, it would never be me<br />
That would break your heart and make you moan<br />
Forsake your name, leave you alone<br />
With the sting of a coward's lie<br />
The signed decree that declares you die<br />
Chorus<br />
___________<br />
Three times denied<br />
Thought I was strong but it seems I was wrong<br />
Now I see, since now I've three times denied<br />
Your name--I'm stained with shame<br />
This wretchedness becomes my fame<br />
[Chorus]<br />
Verse 3<br />
_____________<br />
Nightmares run through my brain<br />
Cold sweat covers me like a sickening stain<br />
In this place between asleep and awake<br />
I shake from the cold and the fear of heartbreak<br />
And in the glow of the fire I turn into a liar<br />
To scared to say 'I know'<br />
And like a sheperdless sheep I run and I weep<br />
As I hear the cock crow<br />
[Chorus]<br />
You said three times<br />
My son do you love me?<br />
And I said three times, "You know that I do"<br />
You said three times<br />
My son do you love me?<br />
And I said three times, "You know that I do"<br />
You said three times<br />
My son do you love me?<br />
And I said three times, "You know that I do!"<br />
[Chorus]
