Goat of Departure - The Black Dahlia Murder

Goat of departure, on his back rides their shame

Antithesis of their ivory Christian chains

Fearful thee ovis, their weakened hearts and minds

We are the satyrs of hedonistic kind

Less traveled is our path

Laid darkly to the left

Footprint of Mendes emblazoning our armored breast

Great bearded Capra who towers o’er the land

A tribute to your magnificence

The feared sign of the horns shows on our hands

Azazel, the damned ibex

Swath of scarlet ties his neck

To the desert, banished

Yet our curse lives on

Embrace the glory of the goat

Worship the one who burns below

Heretic liberation of the soul

Dispel their false salvation as a whole

Misunderstood, our Lord

Preserver of the horde

Footprint of Mendes enchants our angel-cleaving swords

O' silvered capra taught us to fear no man

In your honor, we have gathered strength

To rid their aging falsehoods from this land

We’ll fight their kingdom high

The burdened scapegoat, cast aside

Like he has, we shall too, survive

Melding our powers, undenied

Order of Ebon, we are his righteous blade

Reich of satanic rule, the iron might of Baphomet

Bringers of chaos, we are an antichrist

Swing spiked morning stars

To crush his kingdom, our delight

Dance ye now unto to the satyr’s lyre

Spring-heeled devotion to hell’s eternal fires

Instinctively to follow, thine desire

We should ashamed, not be

Preservation of the will is key

Embrace the glory of the goat

Worship the one who burns below

Heretic liberation of the soul

Dispel their false salvation as a whole

We’ll fight their kingdom high

The burdened scapegoat, cast aside

Like he has, we shall too, survive

Melding our powers, undenied
