Thunder Thruster
Kryst the Conqueror Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They plan to form a wall, then push us to the sea
We deployed our forces, moving to attack
Those who see their eyes, never answer back
Call the high commander
Tell him of the siege we're under
We're ready to roll, we're ready to roll
Missile silo doors are opened, coordinates are placed
Six billion tons of power, thrown back into their face
One blinding blast of light, after that we see
Their huge electric eyes staring back at me
Prepare the thunder thruster
Ultra sonic molecule buster
Get ready to roll, get ready to roll
Get ready to roll, get ready to rock
Then went to a hill on the shore and assembled the gun
To do a thing that before no one had done
Now we sit and we wait, we have nowhere to run
We see their lights through the night, turn the thunder thruster on
With a sonic boom the waves of sound are thrust
Upon our enemies, it shatters them to dust
No one left to battle, ships pools of molten lead
But our world's destroyed, who knows how many dead
Turn off the thunder thruster, dig a hole and put it under
Never to rock, never to rock
Never to rock, never to rock
Rock, rock, rock, roll
The opening lines of Kryst the Conqueror's song Thunder Thruster set the stage for an epic battle between two opposing forces. The first two lines refer to an invasion of some sort, with six super star destroyers landing in the east. It is apparent that the invaders intend to form a wall and push the defenders into the sea, which sets up the conflict of the song. The defenders have deployed their forces and are moving to attack, but it is clear that whoever sees the eyes of the enemy does not return from the encounter.
The song takes a turn when the high commander is called to inform him of the siege. This serves as a build-up to the main event of the song: the use of the thunder thruster. The missile silo doors are opened, and six billion tons of power are unleashed towards the enemy. The blinding blast of light reveals the enemy's huge electric eyes staring back, but there is no time to ponder this as the thunder thruster must be prepared.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the readiness of the defenders to rock and roll in the face of the enemy. The thunder thruster is the ultimate weapon, and the defenders are getting ready to use it. The song ends with a powerful explosion as the waves of sound thrust upon the enemy, shattering them to dust. However, the cost of the victory is the destruction of their world, and as the chorus reminds us, the thunder thruster must never be used again.

@heathencore To be fair, Danzig was a more experienced musician at the time. Jerry and Doyle were just starting to write music. They've gotten better at it over the years. Besides, Danzig has had his share of fuck ups over the years.
