about

Inspired by the short story, "Sabbath of the Black Goat," by Stephen Mark Rainey

lyrics

Black goat
A darkening sky
The Witches' Sabbath
In a shroud of darkness
Rhythmic percussion, muted
A lulling effect
Fires blaze on the hills as
Screams rise to the heavens

Reverent ones
Witness him appear
Ye black goat
With the devil at his heels
Ravenous ones
Gather overhead
They descend
At the trumpet's sound

Black goat
Appeareth before her
Eyes ablazing
Enshrined in moonlight
Wretched canticles sung with
Unearthly passion
Sacrificial virgin approaches for
Unholy in-fertilization

Reverent ones
Witness him appear
Ye black goat
With the devil at his heels
Ravenous ones
Gather overhead
They descend
At the trumpet's sound

They descend
