Pantera - Becoming

Pantera was an American heavy metal band from Arlington, Texas, formed by the Abbott brothers, Vinnie Paul (drums) and "Dimebag" Darrell (guitar), then known as Diamond Darrell, in 1981. Bassist Rex Brown then known as Rex Rocker would join in 1982, with vocalist Terry Glaze. In 1987 Phil Anselmo would become the group's lead vocalist, completing the band's most successful lineup that would remain together for 16 years.

Pantera's style changed by the late 1980s. The band subsequently became a key formulator of the post-thrash metal subgenre of groove metal. It would not be until nine years after forming that the band saw its first piece of commercial success in its 1990 major label debut, Cowboys from Hell. From there, Pantera became one of the most celebrated heavy metal bands of the 1990s.

Despite the generally cold reception of the band's first four albums from the 1980s, critics have lauded Pantera's style thereafter; Jason Birchmeier of Allmusic.com states that "there was no greater metal band during the early to mid-1990s than Pantera." The band has received accolades such as ranking 45th on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" and fifth on MTV's "Top 10 Greatest Heavy Metal Bands of All-Time."

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.

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.

I'm born again with snakes eyes
Becoming Godsize

@Martegon no one can kill the metal !!!!!!!

[Martegon]

Godsmack can blow goats for virtually stealing this riff for their shitty song "Whatever"

[anpallis]

@Martegon fair enough, the riffs kinda sounds alike but you can't hate on a band cause one of their songs sound like this, have you even bothered to check out the rest of godsmacks songs? you might actually like them

[SharinganMan]

@RSnEDmusic I mean... my comment is right there for you to look at. It's very short and very simple, and doesn't say that at all.

[RSnEDmusic]

@SharinganMan correct me if im wrong, you said the lyrics dont make sense

[SharinganMan]

@RSnEDmusic It's weird how you entirely agree with me, and yet call me a dolt

think before you post man

[RSnEDmusic]

@SharinganMan Pantera isnt about intelligence. its about aggression you dolt. and the lyrics make perfect sense!

[LORDGOAT1976]

Some of their lyrics are straight to the point.
