Wikipedia says Thin Lizzy did this in early 80s with Slayer doing Thier track in the very late 80s. Who wrote the music and lyrics originally?

I've always thought it was slayer but just discovered this Thin Lizzy version today.

 
The two songs are completely different both musically and lyrically so no idea to question who did it originally. It's just two different songs handling the same theme.

Not music but Devin Townsend has been using the quarantine period to start a series of podcasts looking at each of his albums in terms of the creative process and mentality behind them. The result is fascinating and even if you're not too into his music it's an interesting rumination on the human condition and our failings.
