Harry Conklin - Vocals
Mark Briody - Guitar
Joey Tafolla - Guitar
John Tetley - Bass
Rick Hilyard - Drums
The album was supposed to include the track "The Crucifix" but Mark Briody did
not own an acoustic guitar and could not find one to borrow (as he had, for the
second 1981 demo), so the track was not recorded until later.
The EP was originally self-titled. It has been referred to as "The Tyrant's
EP", "Battle Zones", and "Tyrants", with some variation of the first and the
last being preferred by the band nowadays.
1. Battle Zones
Warriors in the rain soaked jungle
Fighters for an unknown cause
Death reflecting every victim
My life is lost in the reapers jaws
Daybreak brings more of the terror
Napalm clears a path miles long
My nostrils fill with scents of incineration
The enemy lies in heaps, hund
reds strong
Battle Zones
You're in my
Battle Zones
Battle Zones
Rapid fire machines guns blaring
Flames destroy cities by the score
I must escape this evil vision
Get my orders from the overlord
I see the final day is coming
I feel it way down deep into my bones
This nightmare is finally over
Is it time for this man to come home?
I'm coming home
Battle Zones
You're in my
Battle Zones
Battle Zones
2. Death Row
So you think you got it made
Standing so close to the stage
Hear the sound like a battering ram
But what you don't know
Is Jag Panzer's got control
And the power is all in our hands
Yes, as decibels raise
Your eardrums will split
Like fire from hell and the grave
With vengeance and malice
We'll yell and we'll scream
Our violence evolves from the stage
So I'll give you my body
To do what you want
I'm boiling with passionate flare
You know it's controlled
But not for very long
Take your soul with my deadly stare
Death Row
Your standing in the
Death Row
Ringing inside your head
Death Row
First seven rows
Death Row
Louder till we raise the dead
So keep raising your hands
Oh you're such loving fans
We're headbangers, one and all
I'm aiming to please
Bring you down to your knees
You've suddenly lost all control
Death Row
Your standing in the
Death Row
Ringing inside your head
Death Row
First seven rows
Death Row
Louder till we raise the dead
3. Metal Melts The Ice
Yea, I'm out to get you
Get inside your brain
Gonna unleash my lust
Try to drive you insane
Can you feel my power?
Pulsing in your head
I'm a vicious tiger
Roaming across the land
You know it's over
When the Metal Melts the Ice
You know it's over
When the Metal Melts the Ice
It's coming down
Like a hammer of steel
It's gonna cross the ice
Of the frozen heart I feel
I'm gonna use my stare
To conjure up the flames
My main desire
Has lost control again
You know it's over
When the Metal Melts the Ice
You know it's over
When the Metal Melts the Ice
You know it's over
When the Metal Melts the Ice
You know it's over
When the Metal Melts the Ice
Can you feel me writhing
In pleasure and desire?
I'm boiling over
I'm breathing fire
So don't mess around with the tiger
Cos I'll bite
I love the scent of blood
On a sharpened spike
You know it's over
When the Metal Melts the Ice
You know it's over
When the Metal Melts the Ice
You know it's over
When the Metal Melts the Ice
You know it's over
When the Metal Melts the Ice
4. Iron Shadows
In the darkened days of old
The law was the sword
Yes, it was long ago
There was a strong man
Who lived by the sword
He was being chased
By a strong and mighty hoard
Lying in the bushes
To hide from the rest
He suddenly hears the cries
Of a maiden in distress
And you see flashing blades of steel
Tear the flesh from the bone
Cries of quarter is his last dying breath
With one eye on the boat
And the other on the woman
He hastily flees from the rest
Rowing day and night
Not stopping in his way
Though tales of woe were spoken by the girl
He gently falls asleep
Then awakes on the shore
The story at last unfurls
Not knowing where they rested
They awakened in a temple
Of the shadows of that she fears
Sleep ensnares the both of them
And just like a dream
A demon in black appears
Running like the wind
She startles the man
Screaming cries of help
You say it's not a dream
These demons are real
You need to get a hold of yourself
Iron Shadows
Five demons in black
Iron Shadows
The moonlight prepares the attack
Not knowing where they rested
They awakened in a temple
Of the shadows seen in trees
An ape, standing upright
With hunger in his eyes
It's death will come quickly with ease
Slaying the beast
A few inches from fate
He hears many a crewmen die
Running to the ship
He captures the rest
They set sail for the Eastern sky
Iron Shadows
Five demons in black
Iron Shadows
The moonlight prepares the attack
'Crucify the kings and
Defile the queens
Burn the cities in fire
Slay the enemies
See them driven before me
This is my only desire'
