They released this Vietnam-themed EP, with six relevant tracks (Into It Records # IIR 067). The opening song, "Kill Zone 2", focussed on the killing: "six feet under, where the Cong belongs... here in the kill zone". The track "Mac V Sog" dealt with the P.O.W. issue, describing a rescue attempt, similar to many Vietnam War films in the 80s: "Yankee dying breed, prisoners of Viet Cong, desperate to be freed".Sources1metal-archives.com: Just Before Dawn↩

Lyrics

English: Misty jungle combat / Soldiers in need / Fugitives of war / A Yankee dying breed / Prisoners of Viet Cong / Desperate to be freed / A Mac-V team has risen / For a rescue to succeed / Hold your Carbine / Prepare for worst / We take no prisoners / Attack and burst / M16 / Bullet shell rain / US murder squad / Unbearable pain / We come at nightfall / For Cong to bleed / A squadron of killers / Called for a special deed / A force with one task / For Charlie to concede / Failing is no option / Mission complete / Flamethrowers - Incinerate / Bazooka fire – devasted / M16 / Bullet shell rain / US murder squad / Unbearable pain Deep beneath jungle soil / A labyrinth was created / Dug by thousands of soldiers / To Undermine the red-neck suppression / Concealed with a trap door entrance / Under leaves in dark woods / To surprise the US Doughboys / As a family of rats they stood / Blind maze, underground, jungle rot, never found / Buried Congs, sudden death, these are the tunnel rats / Sneak attack, foxhole, slit throat, burned soul / Charlie´s here, combat, these are the tunnel rats / A complex underground network / Beneath skeletal remains / Afraid for the gateway to open / In the ever pouring rain / Determined Vietcong no fear of death / Crawling in a claustrophobic death bed / Waiting patiently and for sudden death / Of a US army green beret / Blind maze, underground, jungle rot, never found / Buried Congs, sudden death, these are the tunnel rats / Sneak attack, foxhole…
