Corrosion Of Conformity - Backslider Lyrics






Some people know the order, but they're hard to find
Some people roll you over and then they blow your mind
Some have the will to occupy
Some people can't remember, but that's nothin' new
Some people kill for lovin' including me and you
But I guarantee your time is due
I guarantee your time is due

Black fire! Illuminate the chosen few
Liars assassinate what's come for you

Distant winds spread salvation and beat you down with shame
Once redeemed is gone forever never be unchained
The future steals what once remained
Some people speak the truth now: when 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
Choose me or choose eternal flame

Black fire! Illuminate the chosen few
Liars assassinate what's come for you

Beware Backslider
You need to know just why we were, 'cause I might be losin' my mind

Deception of your mind
Chasing what was once divine
Onward for the truth absurd
I think we finally know just why we were...
Alone...
Alone...
Alone...

Nobody knows the answer; they never question why
And 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 forget the memories that were so profound
The revolution dies with out a sound
The revolution dies with out a sound

Black fire! Illuminate the chosen few
Liars assassinate what's come for you

Beware Backslider
You need to know, just why we were 'cause soon you'll be losin' your mind

  1. K.... ....

    Terrific track!

  2. a.... ....

    The voice of a revolution MUST RETURN!

    a.... ....

    +a.fro80y They did..

  3. A.... C....

    That Riff!! Amazing x 1000!

  4. A.... t....

    I feel a reunion if it hasn't already begun. Especially since there is no bad blood and much mutual respect among these guys.
    COC, always relevant! 

  5. G.... G....

    WHAT??? they sound nothing like metallica.   coc has shit to say first of all, the talent and care of the music shows in coc, plus did you know metallica is metal in spanish......didnt really think hard for a name either. dont get me wrong early stuff is good ,even a couple tracks on death magnetic, but noone should live down a 10 yr fuck up. i have yet to hear a song of cocs that is just thrown together. and guess who didnt bitch about losing money with napster, and had less money to spare.....?

    G.... G....

    AMEN! You hit the nail right between the fucking eyes. Everything COC does feels 100% authentic! Intelligent lyrics, kick ass hard rock. That is what makes them an absolute treasure. What more could you ask for?

    G.... G....

    Another point of fact, that 10 year fuck up was due to Metallica trying to copy COC's sound! AND THEY FAILED MISERABLY!!! When it comes to lead guitar players Woody Weathermen probably has less skill then Kirk Hammett. But I can't STAND kirk Hammett's uninspired solo's. Woody on the other hand obviously puts his heart and soul in to his leads and I love the way they sound! Case in point, "World on Fire" outro simple but it'll give you goose bumps!

    G.... G....

    +a.fro80y Right on man,,,the lyrics tell the truth,,,,

  6. f.... ....

    f.... ....

    f.... ....

    @marvin green
    cool

  7. Z.... S....

    tough fuckin song and album coc for life

  8. E.... ....

    Well - it's confusing, b/c Metal music has always been associated w/being mildly-2-very demonic, so flipping it on it's head is...an interesting idea!
    ;)

    E.... ....

    COC is a punk band. Not a metal band

  9. c.... ....

    I am addicted to this song and this whole album too! wicked!!!!! I wish some one would tab this .. and other songs on the album...this stuff needs to be put out there again! its too awesome to be kept buried. keep plugging!

  10. R.... J....

    Cool Breakdown

  11. Y.... Z....

    Sound good!!!

  12. j.... m....

    @Hakate666 well i figured it out, ozzy used a leslie rotary speaker on planet caravan. and pepper is a good singer, but im sorry, there is a slight effect on his vocals.

  13. H.... ....

    @johnnymac1986 Ozzy did use a voice enhancer on planet caravan, but Phil Anselmo did not when they covered it. and pepper is not using effects on any part except on the first bar. He is just that fucking good. but look it up on Google to be sure. lol have a good day. and he as you referred to him has a name. Pepper Keenan. remember the name because he is god second only to Phil Anselmo from DOWN and Pantera. so if you wanna hear more Pepper just listen to Down.

  14. R.... ....

    To think. years ago I was told by a friend of mine "dont listen to them. they jus wanna be like metallica" (well they did advertise for a singerthat sounded like hetfield) Just shows. Listen to whatever rule nothing out. THEN make up your own mind. At nearly 44 years of age I cannot believe I recently started listening to them. Shit hot. ;)

  15. j.... m....

    what effect is he using on his vocals? chorus or flanger? i feel like ozzy used it on planet caravan

  16. K.... N....

    love this song full blast on the car stereo!

  17. c.... ....

    Glad the Animosity era line up of C.O.C is back. Bring back that Sabbath inspired hardcore

  18. P.... ....

    I don't care if they play Hardcore/Crossover or Southern Metal, Corrosion of Conformity kicks ass!

  19. o.... ....

    Very Sabbathy! Love this tune!!! Stanton Moore is like Bonham and Bill Ward with a NOLA twist!

  20. s.... ....

    He summoning the ghost of Ozzy and Ozzy ain't even dead. All Hail The Sabbath!

  21. M.... R....
