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
