Written In Stone
Your days are numbered from the time you were born
Before you know it you blink and they're gone
It is incumbent when finding you're an adult
To select the right course, proceed, protest or join a cult
For sooner than soon, the youthful spring disappears
It dawns that you're old and it will move you to tears
But what comes next might be most important of all
When your eyes finally close comes the judgment call
All the iniquitous things you had chosen to do
Will then be paraded once more before you
But it's then too late and what's done can't be changed
It's Satan's stone where your acts are written and maintained
So think about this when that Dybbuk sits on your shoulder
And tell him "go back to Hell" before you get any older
