Tyrant Lyrics
This song is about "the lord of this world" like BlackSabbath- Master of Reality - "Lord of this world" it's about a being who wants every man to burn- live version
the lyrics are quite clear- it is Satan singing to mankind about his power, and man's weakness. Fortunately he is not the conqueror of all, just another lie
This could also be a pessimistic view of God/religion.
well. i thinnki it's a bout a tyrant. great song.
It's about a tyrant, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION!
that's correct. there is an interview in which Rob Halford discusses his lyric writing. Providing an example of his style, he says that "Tyrant" is a song about a tyrant that expresses his antipathy for tyranny and despotism, but allows the listener to fill in the blanks and create in his or her own mind a scene, plot, story, picture, or what have you.

Black Sabath: How do you know?! Judas Priest wrote several biblical-based songs, as did Sabbath (which you should know). Unless you're Rob Halford, it seems a little ignorant -- and might I add, tyrannical -- to jump down this guy's throat as if you hold the key to some definitive answer.
The song could easily be a metaphor for Satan's control over mankind, just as "Lord of this World" was.
This is the best Priest song
About Hitler. Nothing else
It's about Caligula from Ancient Rome
