Corrosion of Conformity started as a hardcore punk band in 1982 in Raleigh, North Carolina, with original members Reed Mullin on drums, Woody Weatherman on guitar and Mike Dean on bass and vocals. COC were pioneers of the crossover thrash genre in the 1980s. The seeds for Corrosion of Conformity were planted when a 15 year old Woody Weatherman was taken by his father to a Black Flag concert. Inspired by the gig, he took up guitar after his father gave him an acoustic a few days later. Not being able to make enough noise with it, he traded it in immediately for a Gibson electric.

Corrosion Of Conformity

Some people know the order
But their hard to find
Some people roll you over
Then they blow your mind
Some have the will to occupy
Some people can't remember
But that's nothing new
Some people kill for loving
Inluding me and you
I guarantee your time is due!!!
Blackfire illuminate the chosen few
Liars assassinate what's come for you
Distant winds spread salvation
Beat you down with shame
Once redeemed and gone forever
Never be unchained
The future steals what once remained
Some people speak the truth
Now there's no one else to blame
Then they try to beat you down
Boy, if you don't do the same
Choose me or choose eternal flame
Blackfire illuminate the chosen few
Liars assassinate what's come for you
Beware backsliders!
You need to know just why we were
Cuase I might be losing my mind
Deception of your mind
Chasing what once was inside
Onward for the truth absurd
I think we'll finally know why we were
Alone
Nobody knows the answer
They never question why
Blind faith will lead you nowhere
It happens every time
Spirit shines and now it's time to die
Lights dim and you can't remember
You pray you're homeward bound
Kill the dream and forget the memories
That was so profound
The revolution dies without a sound
Blackfire illuminate the chosen few
Liars assassinate what's come for you
Beware backslider!
You need to know just why we were
Cause you might be losing your mind
