Sample: "Leaving the City" by Joanna Newsom (0:43, 1:11) from the album Divers

lyrics

In a flash
It hit the fan
And just imagine the panic
It's traumatic
Ditch the plan when you're clearly disadvantage
Clipped an ear in the frenzy
Then you vanished, huh?
Said you would die for him just some hours ago
He said you'd deny him thrice
The cock would crow
In the thick of the night
You get sick at the sight
Folks with sticks and stones, swords, clubs and spikes
They wanna capture Him
Teach Him a lesson tonight
In His absence
You feel disconnected inside
And it's wrecking your mind
It just doesn't align
If He's the Messiah
Why is He letting them bind him in chains
Like He committed a crime
It's so strange
And insane
And frustrating
In this day and age
He's making you look like a fool
So you know what to do
Bounce

When they took Him to the high priest's house
You watched from afar as He got beat down
Denied and denied Him
You did not keep count
Did you honestly think that you would not be found?
Or was your main thought
That you not be bound like your Master
Not one you wanna copy now
You copy the crowd
But body and mouth aren't cooperating
It's hard to not seem challenged
This is overwhelming
Got you off your balance
Trying to hold it in
Make your heart seem calloused
Join in the insults and malice
Rather give it out than be a target of violence
Couldn't take an hour praying for the power
Now when there's a finger pointed at you
You cower
Cock crow's precise
Denied Him thrice
Yet when you lock eyes with Christ
His eyes were nice
You bounce

Cus it's all too much to take
As you're running away
Doesn't matter where you're going a bit
Just as long as you dip
Heart's pounding big
Fall down on the ground
And you wanna be dead
And you stop in exact same spot
Where your Master an hour ago sweat drops of blood
And He asked you to stay and watch and pray
But off you fell to sleep
Couldn't stay awake
But wait a minute
You argued that you were ready to die for Him
Couldn't stay awake an hour for Him
His betrayer came
You drew out a sword to ride for Him
Then you ran like a coward on Him
Said you didn't know Him
Three times
Didn't believe Him when He told you you'd lie
But He said that you'd return in time
And you're burning in your mind
And you're far from fine
You bounce

Time goes finds you back in a boat
Trying to catch fish for the past hour or so
And you cast nets but you lack power to sow
Simple fact is
Sadly you have no control
In the past this happened
That Man you backstabbed said
Cast in your net
Go 'head and try once more
So massive a catch that it could not hold
Now that same man's on the side of the shore
Woah
And He told you to lower the net
So much fish that it's sinking the ship
Jump out and swim when you see that it's Him
Fall at His feet now as more than a man
The Creator of the sea and the land
He said
Peter do you love me?
Peter do you love me?
Peter do you love me?
Yes I do man
He said
Feed my sheep then
And feed my lambs
You went from the lowest of lows
To the highest command
You bounced
