Thanatos is Modern Greek for "death", but in Ancient Greek, "Thanatos" referred to a figure in mythology. While Hades was the god of death and the afterlife, Thanatos WAS death, personified. He usually stands for a peaceful, non-violent death, unlike Hades.
But even so, this song seems to be about a terrible, brutal death, given the way it's sung (and the creepy-ass music video). Also, am I the only one who sees references to Jesus' death here? "Tremor on my heaven, son. Tares above my kingdom come" seems to be an allusion to Jesus dying on the cross. And there's the "torn open tomb" line. I'm not saying this song is all about Jesus' death though, I think it's symbolizing something else.
