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...

Píseň: Message In Blood

Interpret:
Pantera
Album:
Cowboys From Hell
There's a place that I keep deep inside me 
It can trigger my mind 
All along I knew it has been with me 
Since I was just a child 


I just summon power within my soul 
It has given me life, beyond life I take 
Blame for my murderous problem my signature 
Always reminds 


It's a message in blood 
It's your cryptic warning 
Within the message in blood 
Marks the years of pain, 
And your godforsaken ending to life 


I'm provoked into sick confrontations, brutal 
Time after time, bed of nails, suffocation, 
life's ending, slay in different designs 
One mans misery is another mans mystery 
No one cares to understand my 
Demented means 
Sticks and stones can break all your 
brittle bones, epitaph written at your feet 


It's a message in blood 
It's your cryptic warning 
Within the message in blood 
Marks the years of pain, 
And your godforsaken ending to life
