Pantera 01 Mouth for War

1992. Vulgar Display Of Power

Phil Anselmo stated in a 1992 interview on Much More Music, that “Mouth for War” is about channeling your hate into something productive. This is evident in the lyrics “When I channel my hate to productive/I don’t find it hard to impress”.

Revenge! I’m screaming revenge again
Wrong! I’ve been wronged 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

Bones in traction!
Hands break to hone raw energy
Bold and disastrous!
My ears can’t hear what you say to me

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

Bones in traction!
Hands break to hone raw energy
Bold and disastrous!
My ears can’t hear what you say to me

Hold your Mouth for the War
Use it for what it’s for
Speak the truth about me
Determined

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
