River of Stone - Corrosion of Conformity

Those who first see the light

Are the one extinguishing

If blood should reign and rivers boil

Feel the earth beneath burning

Where do you look now

For knowing that some great fall looms?

Crucible has been cast

This is the way that cannot last

Iron snakes, they crawl the dirt

Caught up in a spider’s web

Rivers turn to stone again

And the seas are black and dead

No shelter for evil

In time you’ll find another way

When you’re dealing with those devils

To who or what you gonna pray?

Thunder came and struck them down

And the wheels kept right on rolling

Strange beasts are everywhere

And the earth they’ve overrun

Where do you look now

For knowing that some great fall looms?

Time of trials is unleashed

Artifice is overcome

Iron snake they crawl the dirt

Caught up in a spider’s web

Rivers turn to stone again

And the seas are black and dead

No shelter for evil

In time you’ll find another way

When you’re dealing with those devils

To who or what you gonna pray?

In a swarm the crows are clamoring

What’s happening?

In a storm that’s outside gathering

There’s hammering

Don’t you want to know the sign?

Don’t you want to know your time?

Long of tooth the shadows grow

By the stream where nothing flows
