1236 - Pantera Cemetery Gates 1990

"Cemetery Gates" is the fifth track from "Cowboys from Hell", the band's fifth album and second with lead singer Phil Anselmo (though the band considers it their first "true" album, officially ignoring their earlier independent releases as it was their first album with the groove metal genre). "Cemetery Gates" showcases Anselmo's vocal ability and range, concluding with screaming high notes answered by Dimebag Darrell on guitar in a trade off.
The lyrics lament the death of a female relative or friend and the prospect of dying or committing suicide and rejoining her in the afterlife.
