[Verse] In the room we gathered close that night Bread and wine under candlelight Promises spoken in the dim But fear cast shadows deep within [Verse 2] He spoke of pain and a bitter end Said one of us would betray a friend Boastful words I let slip fast Not knowing then I'd be the last [Chorus] Denial's edge where courage fades Three times over I shun His gaze A rooster's cry the truth it lays Denial's edge where courage fades [Verse 3] Garden shaded by moon's soft glow He asked us all to watch the show But weary eyes soon shut to rest As betrayal's kiss was laid to test [Bridge] Sword was drawn and ear did fall But love he showed despite it all A healer's hand and heart so grand Yet I denied with trembling hand [Verse 4] Courtyard fire crackled in the night Fear consumed the fading light A haunting stare I could not meet As echoes cried from cobblestone street
