It contains over 1000 species in five genera, of which the type genus, Pandanus, is the most important. It is an ancient family dating from the early to mid-Cretaceous.
Characteristics
Pandanaceae includes trees, shrubs, lianas, vines, epiphytes, and perennial herbs.Stems may be simple or bifurcately branched, and may have aerial prop roots. The stems bear prominent leaf scars. The leaves are very long and narrow, sheathing, simple, undivided, with parallel veins; the leaf margins and abaxial midribs are often prickly.
The plants are dioecious. The inflorescences are terminally borne racemes, spikes or umbels, with subtended spathes, which may be brightly colored. The flowers are minute and lack perianths. Male flowers contain numerous stamens with free or fused filaments. Female flowers have a superior ovary, usually of many carpels in a ring, but may be reduced to a row of carpels or a single carpel. Fruits are berries or drupes, usually multiple.

Penitence
by: Underneath The GunKnowing now all your thought
Before you will
Take this bread and this cup
Losing grasp of what
What you will know
And don't give this conversation up!
Knowing now all your thoughts
Of what you will know
Don't give this conversation up!
Stand before His throne
(Feast your eyes on His glorious robe)

Stand before His throne
(He is everything you'll know)
Black is your heart for you diminish this decree of light
And you devour your own soul and sight
This is your part for new finished thought into action
You knew composure only cost a fraction
Back in the start of this disaster you forgot all loss
The last conviction was only lost
Your body shall forever rest on this dreadful night!
Your body shall forever rest on this dreadful night!
You, you will be forgotten
You, you will, you will be...

In this utter darkness
But your only escape
Is penitence within
Join with me brothers!
Black is your heart for you diminish this decree of light
And you devour your own soul and sight
This is your part for new finished thought into action
You knew composure only cost a fraction
Salvation is clear!
