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...
We've got no time to lose
Your news is old news
Hate this, hate me, hate this
Right approach for the wrong
It's time to spread the word
Let the voice be heard

Dominate and take the motherfucking world
Mass prediction, unification
Breathing life into our lungs
EVERY creed and EVERY kind
To give us depth for strength
Taught when we're young to hate one another
It's time to have a new reign of power
Make pride universal so no one gives in
Turn our backs on those who oppose
Then when confronted we ask them the question
What's wrong with their mind?
What's wrong with your mind?
It's time to RISE
We've lived with past mistakes
Can we live with our own
Forgive, forget forgive
Be a man, not a child
There are no tears for peace
Of the common sympathies
Educate, reinstate, educate
A thing of past
The trouble in the states
It's time to rise
