Corrosion Of Conformity - Holier Lyrics

THRASHCORE!

Saw this trio do this song/album at Mabuhay Gardens mid 80’s.

such hypnotic chorus and crushing song. cant get enuff of reeds drumming . bowing at the altar of and old skool c.o.c.

I had this on vinyl - best tune on the album

this is the COC i remember! todays COSkinard Mike Dean is a hellua bass player Same with Reed Mullen great drummer!

real punk!

This was the only song I liked before they hit it big, I bought Eye for an eye without hearing it first OMG shittiest record I ever bought.

Holier, much holier than you were before
No more
Now your purpose, Jesus, flowing in your soul
No more
Feel complete what a nice retreat to the call
No more
The wrath of God will serve you well as bodies fall
In hate
Finding the answers, distoring the question
Ending all possibilities for things to change
Rotting in your empty shell
Writhing in relentless hell
It's death you chose, you chose it well
In your mind you've found it
In my mind, where's your God? He's in your head
In their minds, they've found it
In my mind, where's your God? He's in your head

We used to skateboard to this when it came out....
.

Reminds me of the Dreamkillers

Where's your god he's in your head. Best lyrics ever.

Murphy George Best lyrics for the Best song in the Album

Fucking LOVE this song ! This and "Hungry Child" are the best ones on Animosity, but really, it's ALL good !

i love this era of COC, but i love the pepper keenan era so much more. it's just groovier, and i love music with a groove :D

They are talking about the Illuminati and the evil it breeds..They even have one eye symbolism on the cover! The BLiND album greatly expands on this theme with it's lyrics also. Then Deliverance came out and they stopped communicating the amazing power those lyrics held to the masses.. I think that's because they switched from a Independent label to a Major. The album covers, music, and whole mood changed.. Very suspicious IMO! ; T'S A MAD MAD MAD WORLD!!.~

i can give you the american volume dealer album but not in the arms of god or deliverance

those were the days!!

Timeless tunes they issued with Animosity! Their best of their hardcore/crossover period...

C.O.C play for Occupy Wall St.!!!!

@804safety This is Crossover Thrash. I know the Punks will never ever change their minds because just remember The Exploited, and GBH didn't sell out right!!!!

unreal. one of the best of all time.

@salihadjic thier metal doesnt even compare to thier punk,im 36 seen them live way back,the older c.o.c blast the newer shit away..

another C.O.C album i owned when i was a teen,the new stuff sucks,doesnt even compare to this,what happen....cheers from canada

happily surprised when i read the lyrics. can't stand 'pro religion' shit. just checked these guys out.

@TheGreaterGood80 Most people think that the crossover COC was best because thankfully most people who know COC aren't stupid.

@VooDoo669 COC were good till "In the Arms of God". The new songs suck since he left the band!

It's too bad that the majority opinion appears to be that 80's crossover thrash/hardcore COC was the best. When they became more bluesy and southern rock they said themselves that they no longer felt part of the hardcore scene and were sort of bored with it and wanted to write rock songs instead. A lot of great metal bands started as hardcore or punk bands and then grew into something else. I love all things COC. Give me Animosity or Deliverance any day.

as far as i'm concerned this music was good, and it's still there to be listened too, if a band want to expand, they have the power to try different things to sound good

[email protected]. "selling out." Do people really think there is any kind of money to be made in heavy music?

@tiredeyesburn At least with BLiND they did not I guess.

@tiredeyesburn All they did was change there sound. You make it sound like they became Blink 182 or something.

@VooDoo669 yo man, we used to skate to this after school every day in my backyard mini half. the neighbors were like WTF but cool. Now I live the reality, not a punk rocker hating the world, Im changing and creating it...

I fuckin' love this shit! They're on tour now playing the 80's songs, Go see them play and buy C.O.C. Animosity & Eye For An Eye! !..!,

Too bad COC sold out. This era of their music was so full of energy.

they should have remade this song on the clean my wounds album.

This was when COC was good.

Fuckin' awesome song.
My favorite from this album, besides the Animosity version of "Positive Outlook".
Good lyrics and just fuckin' catchy!!!

it's death you chose.....and you chose it well!!!

1000 thanks! rad classic - so influencial.
