Lyrics Corrosion of Conformity

Corrosion of Conformity

Cast the First Stone

Back in time before they crossed the line, and the truth was made of gold

Cross of paths that was based on the past, or so the story goes

Strike fear and the end draws near, and the peasants wore a blindfold

Stack 'em up, stack 'em up, burn 'em down, and the peace remains unknown

Burdened by a faith

Lost without a trace

Crippled by the tools

Made by the hands of fools

Start the fire

And cast the first stone

"Teach me", said the God to the king, "this is all the things I see"

Mean man just doesn't understand, but he does it all for me

Take a stand, beat the devil's hand, you'll be dreaming on a bed of nails

Last prayer in the Cecil square, choose a place that you will fail

"Forget it, the war is won"

Said the God behind his son

Desperate hold him down

Beware the cross and crown

Start the fire

And cast the first stone

Calm down, comes without a sound, and the peace remains unknown

Don't tell you are destined to fail, but you'll be useless on your own

Still refuse to fire as they run born alive and your soul becomes a stone

Stack 'em up, stack 'em up to atone his holy flesh and bone

Burdened by a faith

Lost without a trace

Crippled by the fools

Start the fire

"Forget it, the war is won"

Said the God behind his son

Desperate hold him down

Beware the cross and crown

Start the fire

And cast the first stone

Cast the first stone
