Lords of Thunder
Attacker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They're the keepers of the land
Nothing we do can even fight them
They can crush us with a hand
They're turning your head
Make you look at the dead in their eyes
You can feel it in your soul
No one you touch will even pity you
Be prepared to pay the toll
Nothing you hear will be total truth
When you're in a darkened hole
They're the lords of thunder
They've come up from under the ground
Nothing you say will make them listen
They're the only ones who are heard
Nothing you dream will be make believe
It can fool you with its word
Nothing you plead will have mercy
They're the hell rats who love war
Nothing you hope will ever happen
They're the key and they've locked the door
They're the lords of thunder
Their thunder has destroyed the world
The song 'Lords of Thunder' by Attacker portrays a very ominous message of there being a group of individuals who are the rightful rulers of the land, and no matter how hard others try, they can never prevent them or fight them. This group is portrayed as malevolent and powerful, with the ability to crush others with ease. The lyrics explain that this group distorts reality, making people see death in the eyes, feel things in their soul, and hear partial-truths while stuck in darkness. This gives them absolute control over people's lives, and nothing that the people can do will make them listen, feel mercy, or have hope. The song ends with the disturbing message that the lords of thunder have already destroyed the world.
The song may be interpreted as a commentary on the way people in power can manipulate reality to create a false sense of control over others. It portrays the concept of absolute power corrupting absolutely as the demonic rulers use fear and violence to control people's minds.
