吼 means something along the lines of cry or roar. So think of it as a noise like 鳴【なる】.

• 吼【ほ】える = to bark, to howl
• 咆吼【ほうこう】= a howl, cry (alternative to 咆哮)
• 獅子吼【ししく】 = lion’s roar
• 帆猿【ほえざる】 = Howler Monkey
• 吼【ほ】え声【ごえ】= a bark, a howl

So I guess it’s a term that’s made up in an anime or game. You said it was used in a song? It sometimes happens they coin new words in those (especially in anime and game related music). For the pronunciation you’d have to listen to the song though. If I had to make a guess, it would be てんこう.

The meaning, however, is straightforward: heavenly roar.
