Tablet of Stone

Tablet of stone
Carved over time
Hammer on chisel
Little by little

Now that it's done
Let it be forgotten
Throw it in a chest
Fasten it in chains
Throw away the key
And toss it away
Into the bottom of
The endless ocean

Be out of sight
Be out of mind
Be forever gone
Be forgotten

Tablet of stone
Long though it left alone
Its carving may yet last
Until oblivion
