Thunderhead Lyrics
Ah old habits too hard to break
And soon you'll be dead from that poison that you're on
Oh the venom that's worse than the snakes
Oh no, hey hey hey: white thunder
Needles and pins a dead man you're in
So deep you'll never climb out
Hey hey hey, oh no, hey hey hey
Oh no, hey hey hey: white thunder
A gun to your dead, the trigger you're dead
It's quicker and their ain't no doubt
Oh you'll drown in the Heroin flood
And die in your bed and sweat in detox
You're leaving this world
Oh your epitaph's written in blood
Oh no, hey hey hey: white thunder
Needles and pins a dead man you're in
So deep you'll never climb out
Hey hey hey, oh no, hey hey hey
Oh no, hey hey hey: white thunder
A gun to your dead, the trigger you're dead
It's quicker and their ain't no doubt
Thriller- you spread your disease
Watch out, watch out
Will you steal for me - yes
Will you ruin yourself and give everything unto me- yes
Will you lie, cheat, deceive, dishonor everything
And even kill thy brother for me - yes, yes
Will you worship only me as your true master - yes
Thunderhead, will you die for me - yes master
Oh no, hey hey hey: white thunder
Needles and pins a dead man you're in
So deep you'll never climb out
Hey hey hey, oh no, hey hey hey
Oh no, hey hey hey: white thunder
A gun to your dead, the trigger you're dead
It's quicker and their ain't no doubt

Clearly, this song is about heroin addiction; or rather, a man named Thunderhead who's a heroin addict.

Yep. As the poster above said, it's about heroin addiction. This album, "The Headless Children", was an album about different social situations. It was totally different than the first three albums, which were all just songs without any real meaning. This is one of the best W.A.S.P. albums ever! Blackie really made a masterpiece here!

I think it is, as many have said, a song about heroin and addiction, but follows a Native American. The song's music pretty clearly takes inspiration from Native music, and the words used are very reminiscent of tribal stories.
