The last supper.
Thursday Night
APOSTLES
Look at all my trials and tribulationsSinking in a gentle pool of wineDon't disturb me now I can see the answersTill this evening is this morning life is fineAlways hoped that I'd be an apostleKnew that I would make it if I triedThen when we retire we can write the gospelsSo they'll still talk about us when we've diedJESUS
The end ...Is just a little harder when brought about by friendsFor all you care this wine could be my bloodFor all you care this bread could be my bodyThe end!This is my blood you drinkThis is my body you eatIf you would remember me when you eat and drink ...I must be mad thinking I'll be remembered – yesI must be out of my head!Look at your blank faces! My name will mean nothingTen minutes after I'm dead!One of you denies meOne of you betrays me -APOSTLES
