Words Upon the Stone - Sacred Oath

Have you ever felt a calling

Drawing you somewhere?

A place you feel you’ve been before —

A connection to what’s there?

It was in the local cemetery

I searched for the stone

And what I found filled me with awe —

The words upon that stone!

Reader behold as you pass by

As you are now so once was I

As I am now so you must be

Prepare for death and follow me.

I’m telling you I felt myself

Down beneath that stone

A life before that I had lived

Centuries far gone.

The name had long since been eroded

The date was barely there.

But all I saw was mine upon

That tombstone’s deadly stare.

Reader behold as you pass by

As you are now so once was I

As I am now so you must be

Prepare for death and follow me.
