Mouth For War Lyrics
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
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 isn't 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
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
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
Hands break to hone raw energy
Bold and disastrous
My ears can't hear what you say to me
Use it for what isn't for
Speak the truth about me
Determined
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
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

This song is obviously about Phil's overcoming of his past. I HIGHLY identify with this song. He's had low self esteem for so long that he has finally broken free from it.
"I've been wrong for far too long" This means he's been going about life the wrong way.
"I've moved mountains with less" This means he has done things in the past that he can't do now
"When I channel my hate to be productive, I don't find it hard to impress" This means when you take all your anger and focus it on something productive, you will have positive results and it won't be hard to impress others with you newfound strengths. Turning anger into production ALWAYS produces RESULTS.
"Bones in traction Hands break to hone raw energy Bold and disastrous My ears can't hear what you say to me " This pre-chorus means he has finally realized he can grasp powers and confidence that were never there before. He's "Bold and disastrous". This means his "NEW LEVEL" of confidence and intelligence can't be matched. And the part about the ears not hearing what people say means he won't listen to any discouragements or doubts anyone has about him.
"I feel a conquering will deep inside me" This means he knows in his heart that he is capable of doing whatever he wants, and he just needs to find a way to release it.
The last part of the song means that he is SO DETERMINED to acheive his goal that nobody can stop him. He will not accept failure as he is emerging from the shell that is his past.
Very well said. I fucking love this song. You can take away the amazing lyrics and still get the vibe of the song. Almost like the riff was meshed perfectly with what Phil was trying to convey. Guess that's what made Dime so amazing along with the rest of them....A true metal group that will never be outdone.

Mr. tragedy was right, the song is about taking your destiny in your hand, no longer being mr nice guy or telling people what they wanna hear but living for yourself and in turn being the shit
This song to me, is about a person you know, and every time they talk they something stupid or not worth saying at all. Getting people into fights and just generally lying. That pisses me off and probably pisses Phil off aswell.
yeah i know king, but not long after panteras far beyond driven was the top album, the first ever band to do that as well. i think they should get rid of this damageplan shit an superjoint, an git these 4 hell raisers back together
King Nothing2, you're wrong.
The only thing Pantera had debut at #1 was "Far Beyond Driven" the ALBUM after Vulgar Display Of Power.
This is the first song of Pantera's i had. The breakdown at about 3.05 is the best Pantera you are ever likely to hear. If the whole song was up to the quality, i think i would have died on the spot right then. Don't get me wrong, its still a gnarly song.
But then i got into more of there stuff, and im very thankful to this song.

Actually, Quiet Riot was the first with Metal Health. Then Motley Crue did it with Dr. Feelgood, then Skid Row did it with Slave to the Grind.
Also, they made a video for this song.
Mr Tragedy's view is exactly what the song's about. Quality band. Some people regard Nirvana as the defining band of the 90s. Fuck that dude! Pantera IS AND WAS metal. Dimebag is a true legend. RIP
Good interpretation MrTragedy. I agree 100%
This is an awesome song.
