Pantera
Pantera (Spanish for "Panther") was an American heavy metal band from Arlington, Texas, formed in 1981. The group's best-known lineup consisted of the Abbott brothers—drummer Vinnie Paul and guitarist Dimebag Darrell—along with vocalist Phil Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown. In addition to their development and popularization of the groove metal subgenre, Pantera is credited for being part of the second wave of thrash metal scene from the late 1980s to early-to-mid 1990s.

All songs written by Pantera, unless noted.
Metal Magic (1983)
[edit]- In this day and time of metal magic
We need rock and roll
We need PANTERA!- Ride My Rocket
Projects in the Jungle (1984)
[edit]- It's the same corruption, everywhere I look
There's a brand new rule inside a brand new book
Some people claim that the devil is loose
They blame it all on the rock 'n' roll youth
That don't stop me, I'm on a roll
I found the noise, bangin' my soul
So take it up, loud as you can
There's just one rule that I understand
I'll stick my fist, high in the air
I'll make a sign, 'cause I don't care
Heavy Metal Rules!- Heavy Metal Rules
I Am the Night (1985)

- WARNING a general surgeon
has warned that D*G*T*T*M
may be hazardous to you mental,
as well as "METAL" health.
To obtain maximum benefit
follow these "easy to follow"
instructions:
(1) barricade your door
(2) lock all existing exits
(3) place your stereo volume on 11

and recorded bullshit are part
of yet another "Metal Magic"

Power Metal (1988)
[edit]- In these times
Of confusion and sin
We must redeem
Our human ways
This force that
Fights to live
Will fight
Till it dies
And rise again
To save the day- Rock the World
Cowboys from Hell (1990)
[edit]- You see us coming and you all together run for cover! We're takin' over this town!
- Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen my friend, you see
Its been slow down below,
Aimed at you were the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
cause high noon, your doom
Comin for you were the cowboys from hell- Cowboys from Hell
- I know what's right or wrong
And my belief is stronger
Than your advice
People, they go to war
Because religion gives them
Reason to fight
Sacrifice, die for pride
A group that caters
No one's fees
Or synthetic deities
Is where I belong
My stand is the human race
Without a label or a face
So they can lick my sack- Heresy
- The way we were
The chance to save my soul
And my concern is now in vain
Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the cemetery gates
- Agony is the price that you'll pay in the end
Domination consumes you then calls you a friend- Domination
To shred... it's only emotion
- So now, this is the art
To shred... it's only emotion- The Art of Shredding
Vulgar Display of Power (1992)
[edit].svg)
- The releasing of anger can better any medicine under the sun
- Now a new look in my eyes my spirit rise
Forget the past
Present tense works and lasts
Got shit on
Pissed on
Spit on
Stepped on
Fucked with
Pointed at by lesser men- A New Level
- Re-
Spect!
Walk!
What did you say?!
Re-
Spect!
Walk!
Are you talking to me?!
Are you talking to me?!
No way, punk!
- I'd kill myself for you, and I'd kill you for myself.
- It's time to spread the word
Let the voice be heard
All of us, one of us, all of us
Dominate and take the motherfucking world- Rise
Breathing life into our lungs
EVERY creed and EVERY kind
To give us depth for strength
- Mass prediction, unification
Breathing life into our lungs
EVERY creed and EVERY kind
To give us depth for strength- Rise
Far Beyond Driven (1994)

- Strength Beyond Strength
The Great Southern Trendkill (1996)
[edit]- My foes
They can't destroy my body
Colliding slow
Like life itself.- 10's
- Cheap cocaine, a dry inhale, the pills that kill and take the pain away.
- It's not worth the time to try
to replenish a rotting life
I'll end the problem
facing nothing
fuck you off
fuck you all!
- And throughout the day, mankind played with grenades.
Cold-hearted world
And in night, they might bait the pentagram.
Extinguishing the sun
Wash away man
Take him with the floods!
- The trend is dead!
- The Underground in America
Reinventing the Steel (2000)
[edit]- Yesterday don't mean shit
What's over is over and nothing between
Yesterday don't mean shit
Because tomorrow's a day you have to face!- Yesterday Don't Mean Shit
- What is my name?
Revolution...
