Pantera byla založena v roce 1981 bratry Diamondem Darrellem a Vincentem Paulem Abbottovými, kteří se rozhodli hrát hudbu, jakou mají rádi, tudíž tehdy ještě glam metal, spolu s baskytaristou Tommym Bradfordem, kytaristou Terrym Glazem a zpěvákem...
I am the lightning
and the storm
all hell broke loose
on the night I was born
a child of fire
and burning flames
look to the east
and you'll see hence I came
Might throw you into the darkness
or save you by the light
of the moon and stars
ever shining
celestial bodies burning bright
burning bright
I, I AM THE NIGHT
I, I AM THE NIGHT
I am the terror
the beast at large
heed my warning
sound the alarm
an endless shadow
for daylight you pray
lock your doors
but you cannot get away
Tender angels of mercy
how they run from my sight
eclipsed into darkness
searching only for the light
for the light
for the light
I, I AM THE NIGHT
I, I AM THE NIGHT
