[Rob Thorne] 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! [chorus] 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. [chorus] 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.
