The Last Supper

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
