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.

Distant winds bring you down like a soldier
Alive inside but your soul getting colder
And there's nothing left, nowhere to hide
Nothing left, it's genocide
You're gonna find out
(It is that way because it is)
Over now and I'm going down
What do you want me to be?
I'm the same old beast you hate to see
Just like the heavens when the light recedes
I'm forever black without a need
Now there's nothing left nothing more
Cause you lost the battle and the war
Do what are you standing here for
