Meaning
This song was originally written by Paul Stanley, to be sung by Paul. It really doesn't have too deep of a meaning; it's a typical self-reverential rock song, with Paul proclaiming himself the God of Thunder and Rock and Roll. When they went to record this in the studio, Bob Ezrin (producer of the Destroyer album) thought the song better suited Gene's Demon persona. They slowed the groove down, made it heavier and made it Gene's signature song. By the way, the children you hear throughout the song aren't saying anything related to the song at all. The lyrics posted here are not quite accurate: Bob Ezrin's children came in the studio one day, armed with walkie-talkie style space helmets, and Bob recorded them goofing around, with the intention of slowing them down and making them sound creepy. He figured they sounded creepy enough at normal speed, and mixed them into the song. It's highly doubtful they were saying things like "god damn it," and seeing as the songs were recorded mid-70's I don't think they were making crack references just yet.
