Lyrics River of Stone - Corrosion of Conformity

River of Stone

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
