Reinventing Hell: The Best of Pantera
Compilation - 29 settembre 2003 - Debaser id 124245

Ohhhh...c'mon!

Under the lights where we stand tall
Nobody touches us at all
Showdown, shootout, spread fear within, without
We're gonna take what's ours to have
Spread the word throughout the land
They say the bad guys wear black
We're tagged and can't turn back

You see us coming
And you all together run for cover
We're taking over this town

Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen well my friend, you see
It's best known down below,
Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
Cause high noon, your doom
Coming for you we're the cowboys from hell

Pillage the village, trash the scene
But better not take it out on me
Cause a ghost town is found
Where your city used to be
So out of the darkness and into the light
Sparks fly everywhere in sight
From my double barrel, 12 gauge,
Can't lock me in your cage

You see us coming
And you all together run for cover
We're taking over this town

Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen well my friend, you see
It's best known down below,
Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
Cause high noon, your doom
Coming for you we're the cowboys from hell

(guitar solo)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen well my friend, you see
It's best known down below,
Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
Cause high noon, your doom
Coming for you we're the cowboys from hell

Awww, step aside for the cowboys from hell!

Agony is the price
That you'll pay in the end
Domination consumes you
Then calls you a friend
It's a twisted fall
Binds are like steel
And manipulates the will to be
And it's hard to see
How soon we forget
When there's nothing else
Left to destroy
It's a useless ploy

Your eyes will see
The dawn of the day
And the writing
On the walls
Those words that stare
Into your soul
And to yourself
You will befall

It's domination
Pushed into living hell
Domination

A now blacked heart
Is reaching out in divinity
Body suspended by chains
Over razors and nails
It's a penalty
Each razor a vice
And each nail marks demise
Of you life
Grim construction grows
Has life played a trick
Sealed you in brick by brick
Till your end
Forcing you to bend

Your eyes will see
The dawn of the day
And the writing
On the walls
Those words that stare
Into your soul
And to yourself
You will befall

It's domination
Pushed into living hell
Domination

-Solos-

Reverend, reverend
Is this a conspiracy?
Crucified for no sins
No revenge beneath me
Lost within my plans for life
It all seems so unreal
I'm a man
Cut in half in this world
Left in my misery

The reverend he turned to me
Without a tear in his eyes
Nothing new for him to see
I didn't ask him why
I will remember
The love our souls had sworn to make
Now I watch the falling rain
All my mind can see now is your

Well I guess you took my youth
And gave it all away
Like the birth of a new found joy
This love would end in rage
And when she died, I couldn't cry
The pride within my soul
You left me incomplete
All alone as the memories now unfold

Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the
Cemetery gates

Sometimes when I'm alone
I wonder aloud
If you're watching over me
Some place far abound
I must reverse my life
I can't live in the past
Then set my soul free
Belong to me at last

Through all those complex years
I thought I was alone
I didn't care to look around
And make this world my own
And when she died
I should've cried
And spared myself some pain...
You left me incomplete
All alone as the memories still remain

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

-Solo-

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...
Gates...
Gates...

Revenge
I'm screaming revenge again
Wrong
I've been wrong for far too long
Been constantly so frustrated
I've moved mountains with less
When I channel my hate to productive
I don't find it hard to impress

(Pre) Bones in traction
Hands break to hone raw energy
Bold and disastrous
My ears can't hear what you say to me

(Chorus) Hold your mouth for the war
Use it for what it's for
Speak the truth about me
Determined

Possessed
I feel a conquering will down inside me
Strength
The strength of many to crush
Who might stop me
My strength is in number
And my soul lies in every one
The releasing of anger can better any medicine under the sun

(Pre)

(Chorus)

There comes a time within everyone to close your eyes to
what's real
No comprehension to fail
I vacuum the wind for my sail
Can't be the rest
Let others waste my time
Owning success is the bottom line.
Like a knife into flesh
After life is to death
Pulling and punching the rest of duration
No one can piss on this determination

Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistence?
One step from lashing out at you
You want in to get under my skin and call yourself a friend
I've got more friends like you, what do I do?

Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been, belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself, stay away from me
A lesson learned in life, known from the dawn of time

Re, spect, walk
What did you say?
Re, spect, walk
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?

Run your mouth when I'm not around, it's easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends that sympathize
Can you hear the violins playing your song?
Those same friends tell me your every word

Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been, belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself, stay away from me
A lesson learned in life, known from the dawn of time

Re, spect, walk
What did you say?
Re, spect, walk
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?

Re, spect, walk
What did you say?
Re, spect, walk
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?
No way punk!!!

Re, spect, walk
What did you say?
Re, spect, walk
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?

Re, spect, walk
What did you say?
Re, spect, walk
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?
Walk on home boy!!!

If ever words were spoken,
painful and untrue.
I said I loved,
but I lied.
In my life,
All I wanted,
was the keeping (of someone like you)
As it turns out,
deeper within me,
love was twisted and pointed at you.
- Never ending pain. Quickly ending life -

(Chorus)
You keep this Love (Thing), Love (Child), Love (Toy)!
You keep this Love (Fist), Love (Scar), Love (Break)!
You keep this Love!
Love!
Love!
You keep this Love!
Love!
Love!
You keep this Love!

I'd been tempting one,
stole her from herself.
This gift in pain,
her pain was life.
And sometimes,
I feel so sorry,
I regret this (hurting of you)
But you made me...so unhappy,
I'll take my life (and leave love with you)
- I'd kill myself for you. I'd kill you for myself -

(Chorus)
You keep this Love Thing, Love Child, Love Toy!
You keep this Love Fist, Love Scar, Love Break!
You keep this Love!
Love!
Love!
You keep this Love!
Love!
Love!
You keep this Love!

No .. more .. head ..trips!!

Almost every day, i see the same face
on broken picture tube, it fits the attitude.
If you could see yourself, you'd put you on a shelf
your verbal masturbate, promise to nauseate.
Today I'll play the part of non-parent,
not make a hundred rules for you to know about yourself.
Not lie and make you believe what's evil is making love and
making friends and meeting God your own way ...the right way.

(Chorus)
To see, to bleed cannot be taught
In turn, you're making us
Fucking Hostile
We stand alone

The truth in right and wrong, the boundaries of the law,
you seem to miss the point, arrested for a joint?
You seem to wonder why hundreds of people die,
you're writing tickets man, my mom got jumped they ran!
Now I'll play a public servant,
to serve and protect by the Law and the State.
I'd bust the punks that rape steal and murder
and leave you be, if you crossed me.
I'd shake your hand like a man ...not a God!

(Chorus)

Come meet your maker boy, somethings you can't enjoy.
Because of Heaven/Hell, a fucking wive's tale.
They put it in your head, then put you in your bed.
He's watching - say your prayers.
'cause God is everywhere.
Now I'll play a man learning priesthood,
who's about to take the ultimate test in life.
I'd question things because I am human,
and call no one my father who's no closer than a stranger.
I won't listen !!

(Chorus)

A long time ago I never knew myself.
Then the memory of shame birthed its gift.

No more the small one, the weak one, the frightened one.
Running from beatings, deflating.
I'm becoming more than a man. More than you ever were.
Driven and burning to rise beyond Jesus.

(chorus)
I'm born again with snakes eyes
Becoming godsize

I found my life was slipping through my hands.
Perhaps through death my life won't be so bad.
I can see you, can fuck you, inside of you.
Staring through your eyes.
Belittle your friends to serve me, to suck me,
To realize my saving grasp.
I of suicide. I the unlord.

(chorus)
I'm born again with snakes eyes
Becoming godsize

(chorus)
I'm born again with snakes eyes
Becoming godsize

I wonder if we'll smile in our coffins
While loved ones mourn the day,
The absence of our faces

Living, laughing eyes awake. Is this too much for them to take?
Too young for ones conclusion, the lifestyle won.
Such values you taught your son.

(pre) That's how.
Look at me now.

(chorus) I'm broken.
Inherit my life.

One day we all will die, a cliched fact of life.
Force fed to make us heed. Inbred to sponge our bleed.

Every warning, a leaking rubber,
A poison apple for mingled blood.
Too young for ones delusion, the lifestyle cost
Venereal mother embrace the loss.

(pre) That's how
Look at you now.

(chorus) You're broken
Inherit your life.

(pre) That's how. Look at us now.

(chorus)

I see you had your mind all made up
You group of pitiful liars.
Before I woke to face the day, your master plan transpired.
Something told me this job had more to meet to your eye.
My song is not believed? My words somewhat deceiving?
Now what do i hold?

(chorus) You've waged a war of nerves
But you can't crush the kingdom
Can't be what your idols are. Can't leave that scar.
You cry for compensation. I ask you please just give us...
5 minutes alone,
Just give us... 5 minutes alone

I read your eyes, your mind was made up.
You took me for a fool.
You used complexion of my skin
For a counter rascist tool.
You can't burn me
I've spelled my guts out in the past.
Taken advantage of
cause you know where I've come from.
My past.

(chorus)

Broken glass.
Ugh. 5 Minutes alone. Just give us.
I ask you please just give us... 5 minutes alone. Just give it. 5 Minutes alone.
I ask you please just give us, I ask you please just gives us, I ask you please just give us, I ask you please forgive us, I ask you please forgive us, I ask you please forgive us...

We sail,
through endless skies,
stars shine like eyes,
the black night sighs.

The moon,
in silver trees,
falls down in tears,
light of the night.

The Earth,
a purple blaze,
of sapphire haze,
in orbit always.

While down,
below the trees,
bathed in a coll breeze,
silver starlight breaks down the night.

And so,
we pass on by,
the crimson eye,
of great god Mars,
as we travel...
the universe...

A smack on the wrists is the words from the mouth
of the outsiders, lawyers, police
A small price to pay for the dope and the guns
And the rape, it should all be O.K.
Your father is rich, he's the judge, he's the man,
he's the God that got your sentence reduced
But in the back of his mind, he well knows what
he'd find if he looked a little deeper in you - in you

(Chorus)
Drag the waters some more
Like never before

(Chorus)

Sweet is the slice and the lips - you're gonna have
that woman - she is your favorite lay
Promised you (swore) that no one had been there,
and she was going to keep it that way
Let it move in, you got thin, and got high, and
your money went and so did your friends
But she's by your side, and her smile cannot hide
the premonition of the beckoning end - the end

(Chorus)
(Chorus)

In with it, out with it

68' Into the world, born
The seventies; a breath after the war
Life was confusing because of my age
Should my eyes open for tomorrows gains

(pre) I can't help the way I am
There's no trust and there's no end
What is my name?

(chorus) It will never change
So here it stays
Forever is my name

From now on I can't look the other way
But keep in mind, and listen to what I say
Take underwing all the ones who are lost
And build up around them an infinite wall

(pre) Don't you know just who I am
Take the hand of the wisdoms friend
What is my name

(chorus) It's time to change
It can't stay the same
Revolution is my name

(chorus) It will never change, So here it stays
Forever is my name

What is my name?(x4) Forever
What is my name?(x4) Revolution

(chorus)

Deathlike silence
Red cloud shakes
A race that walls immortality
The undying battle of extinction
Who would believe in sanctuary

Huh, sanctuary

Weapons of lead are post-historic
Life is yielded unto sour ground
A desert shell is designated
A warning to you both man and beast

Destroying, destroying
Foundation, foundation
I'm going, I'm going
Forever, forever

Immortally insane
Immortally insane
Immortally insane
Immortally insane

Eden hardly a tranquil place
The prophecy lears its hateful face
The warheads like lightning strike again and again
Seperating the land from the wolf and man

Huh, no sanctuary

Survivors will rise from strength and brain
The skulls of rivals lay in rows on the sand
The seeds of breeding swallow the waste
Creating more for the next war

Destroying, destroying
foundation, foundation
I'm going, I'm goin
Forever, forever

Immortally insane
Immortally insane
Immortally insane
Immortally insane

Immortally insane
Immortally insane
Immortally insane
Immortally insane

Immortally insane
Immortally insane
Insane

young and dumb, truth and justice, fantasy
fresh out of the academy
five-time loser bust his head, make your day
unless you're paid off then you look away
do you thimk this corruption will ever stop
what makes a person want to be a cop
ran a red light, storm the house and bust the guy
do you like to see his children cry

pick up a hooker and take her for a little ride
but get sucked off on the side
sworn to serve and protect, forget the killing
badge-wearing facist villian
pissed in the street, you bust the guy
do you like to see his children cry

the badge means you suck
a child lies there dead
as you look back, what goes through your head

young and tough, truth and justice, fantasy
fresh out of the academy

ran a red light, take her for a little ride
but get sucked off on the side

a child lies there dead
