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.

Rise River Rise Lyrics

Corrosion Of Conformity

I remember you, seems like yesterday
Do you remember me, I got lost on the way
Wrong muddy road is nothing new
We stand, but this rivers washing through
River rise from tear drops without warning
Float away while flooding yesterday
I'll be gone, I won't be back by mourning
So rise river rise
Wash this place away
Clean my dirty soul
So I can save it
For judgement day
This place will bring you down more than you'll ever know
Now it's do or die, I think it time ago
If you feel this pain, you can stay
I'll fly never liked it anyway
Son of a morning star
River rise from tear drops without warning
Float away while flooding yesterday
I'll be gone, won't be here in the morning
So rise river rise
Wash this place away
Clean my dirty soul
So I can save it
For Judgement Day
