It Makes Them Disappear
Pantera · Original Album Series [2011]
And I'm dropping down the dirt on your grave
It might hurt so bad, but I can't feel sad
Rid of a fool like you
The wrath has just begun
The time has finally come
And it hurts so bad, and it drives me mad
Life with a blinded view (of you)
It makes them disappear
It fills their life with fear
When their future isn't clear
It makes them disappear
- Gone -
So the coward has up and run to be saved
But with each step taken down, you sink in your grave
It might hurt so bad, but I can't feel sad
Rid of a fool like you
Get the fuck on down the road

Released on their 1988 album Power Metal, the song highlights the dynamic interplay between Phil Anselmo's soaring vocals and the Abbott brothers' powerful guitar work. This recording captures the Texas quartet at a pivotal moment, blending traditional metal structures with the emerging intensity that would later characterize their groove metal dominance. The track remains a staple of their discography, illustrating the raw energy and melodic sensibility that helped establish Pantera as a significant force in the genre. Fans and critics alike recognize the song for its driving rhythm and anthemic quality, cementing its place within the band's extensive body of work.
