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...
The end will crush the light
And sends a message, It won't please
The naked eye
Without and end there is no light
To foretell, to blind you
The law of the claw reigns on and after still
When I die, I'll cast a shadow
And I rise, I'll cast a shadow
I'm leaving more eyes open
I close up both of mine
For the ones that chase my life
They're looking over shoulders
Let paranoia in
Spontaneously rule them
When I die, I'll cast a shadow
And I fly, I'll cast a shadow
Everybody get fucking up!
I cast a shadow...
I... I'll cast a shadow
I cast a shadow...
I... I'll cast a shadow
When I die, I'll cast a shadow
And I rise, I'll cast a shadow
