38th Parallel - 3 Times Denied Lyrics
Verse 1_____________Breaking bread, Pouring wine,Speaking mysteries that stretch my mindBut I failed to follow,The meaning of fish and bread that I swallowed?Dipping bread in a dish, calling out a traderI'm hoping you'll explain this sooner or laterI'm living with confusion, It's like a bad dream,Tell me, what's the conclusion?Chorus________Three times deniedThought I was strong but it seems I was wrongNow I see, since now I've three times deniedyour name--I'm stained with shameThis wretchedness becomes my fameVerse 2_____________Your accusation, it plagues my mindYour prophecy leaves me horrifiedDenied you never would be,Of all of us, it would never be meThat would break your heart and make you moanForsake your name, leave you aloneWith the sting of a coward's lieThe signed decree that declares you dieChorus___________Three times deniedThought I was strong but it seems I was wrongNow I see, since now I've three times deniedyour name--I'm stained with shameThis wretchedness becomes my fame[Chorus]Verse 3_____________Nightmares run through my brainCold sweat covers me like a sickening stainIn this place between asleep and awakeI shake from the cold and the fear of heartbreakAnd in the glow of the fire I turn into a liarTo scared to say 'I know'And like a sheperdless sheep I run and I weepAs I hear the ***** crow[Chorus]You said three timesMy son do you love me?And I said three times, "You know that I do"You said three timesMy son do you love me?And I said three times, "You know that I do"You said three timesMy son do you love me?And I said three times, "You know that I do!"[Chorus]
