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 cannot take the take,
Your condition was nod awake
A selfish cryer, boldface liar,
Robbing all of what you could take in
Stabbed towards a death,
A dirty smelling girl
Shit decisions, no provisions,
Filling veins with juice of chaos
Painted face, olive drab, swollen hole,
Empty bag, sunken eyes, whining dog,
It's times like this you should pray for never
I broke your fucking mold
Then threw away the cast,
New religion and new provisions,
It's amazing you're alive
Drop the needle and stop what you're changing into
Erase the end dissolving, disgrace is needed more
So I mended severed ties,
Through flesh we cauterized
The undeserving, sliming, writhing,
I filled you up with watered promise
Painted face, olive drab, swollen hole,
Empty bag, sunken eyes, whining dog,
It's times like this you should pray for never
Spitting teeth, oral lust, alley fuck,
Angel dust, anal whore, bleeding knees,
It's times like this to pray for murder
So now I've seen it all,
Hells' wrath,
No man has greater glory,
Cause now you're living through me
I'm done with saving you,
A gift unto myself,
A tired savior, a wasted favor,
And I'm lucky I'm alive
Drop the needle and stop what you're changing into
I broke your fucking mold
Then threw away the cast
Painted face, olive drab, swollen hole,
Empty bag, sunken eyes, whining dog,
It's times like this you should pray for never
Spitting teeth, oral lust, alley fuck,
Angel dust, anal whore, bleeding knees,
It's times like this to pray for murder
So now I've seen it all,
Hells' wrath,
No man has greater glory,
Cause now you're living through me
