The Last Supper
There was a pig on the table
With a fig in his mouth
And a snake crawled around the plate
And when the wine turned to water
And the bread turned to dust
I knew I'd arrived too late

It was the last supper
A seven course meal for the soul
It was the last supper
And I was the last to know

I saw my name in a book
That lay in front of the veil
With a key in between the pages
And when I unlocked the door
I found a hall full of mirrors
And I saw my life in stages

It was the last supper
And a snake crawled around the plate
It was the last supper
And I knew I'd arrived to late

Last night I came to the gates
With invitation in hand
And my old life left behind
I came as soon as he called
But long before I had planned
Still I came prepared to dine
It was the last supper
And a snake crawled around the plate
It was the last supper
And I knew I'd arrived to late
