Capricorn Rising

by THIRTEEN GOATS

supported by

Zachary Moonshine Through explosive, technically masterful tracks, Thirteen Goats deliver a powerful exploration of environmental devastation, war, and the tragic consequences of extreme actions.” metaldevastationradio.com/thebeast/blog/26343/press-release-thirteen-goats-unleash-new-album-capricorn-rising-out-now-via-exitus-stratagem-records Favorite track: A Wolf in Shepherd's Clothing.

HemiMetal Hands down, Capricorn Rising is my favourite album of 2024. Thirteen Goats are firing on all cylinders in every single song. I cannot choose a favourite track; I believe this record is best represented when experienced in its entirety. Carly Ellen Jones' haunting vocals on 'Murder Lives In The Heart' and' Animal Kingdom' help elevate the two tracks as standouts for me, but every single song is a banger! Anyone who loves metal of any genre needs it in their collection.

1.	Sign of the Goat 04:52	lyrics	buy track
Awakened from a dimension Beyond human comprehension Possessed by evil intention We slaughter without exception Signs of your death Filling our heads Look in your eyes Total surprise Trample your guts Tear out your throat Written in blood Sign of the goat Obliterated and annihilated By all of the ones you underestimated Your deaths are the ones that we have all awaited These consequences can no longer be debated Preparing your mortal forms to be vacated Preparing your organs all to be donated All common beasts arise and bow before our will Our hooves and horns will bring an end to human ills The monster deep within devours from inside Welcome oblivion; enjoy the fucking ride Betray the human condition No sorrow and no contrition We herd you into perdition Your lives the price of admission Get the fuck up Signs of your death Filling our heads Look in your eyes Total surprise Trample your guts Tear out your throat Written in blood Sign of the goat
2.	Murder Lives in the Heart 05:30	lyrics	buy track
I used to be a decent man So full of hope and trust With a heart that bled for humankind Till you crushed it into dust Corrupted by your cruelty In this place that knows no peace Transformed into an animal An unholy bloodthirsty beast With a skull to hold my morbid thoughts As sharp as any horns A bitter soul carrying all of the pain From this dying world nobody mourns A cloak to hide my cloven hooves A rod and staff to guide you Sometimes to light the way ahead You must scorch the earth behind you The grass will grow again When you are dead and gone So let me open up your eyes Come see this hell you made on Earth It’s far too late to run and hide It’s time to get what you deserve All creatures great and small Arise and follow me We march to end it all Their human tyranny The grass will grow again When you are dead and gone So let me open up your eyes Come see this hell you made on earth It’s far too late to run and hide It’s time to get what you deserve And as this bitter journey starts Forgiveness lingers in my mind But murder lives inside the heart And you must pay for breaking mine
3.	A Wolf in Shepherd's Clothing 04:09	lyrics	buy track
Come with me if you cannot be tamed Come with me if you’re sick of the blame ‘Cause I won’t beg and I won’t do tricks Being at the end of a leash makes me sick Kick me around then come in for a kiss? Without this muzzle I’d rip ‘em to bits Sacrifice of blood and bone To satisfy my loathing Not the dog they thought I was But a wolf in shepherd’s clothing Let’s show them all that it’s been a mistake The resources wasted; the lives that they take ‘Cause we won’t bow and we won’t stand still Waiting for them to come in for the kill It’s time to pay back the blood that they’ve spilled If no one else takes it, I certainly will Sacrifice of blood and bone To satisfy my loathing Not the dog they thought I was But a wolf in shepherd’s clothing Let’s cut the weak ones from the herd And leave them decomposing One dozen demons follow me I’m a wolf in shepherd’s clothing Now cloaked in the shadows I’m dressed for the cull A predator wearing a herbivore’s skull The heart of a man And the head of a goat The soul of a wolf and my teeth in your throat
4.	Global Fuckup 03:55	lyrics	buy track
This world’s broken heart is still beating Chance to recover slowly receding Man rapes the land as smoke chokes the sky Made in God’s image; ignorant swine So enter the Antichrist Brought to life as the old world dies Full of their greed and lies Now it’s lights out for humankind No more denial, no time to bargain All your excuses, meaningless jargon Doomed to extinction by politicians United only by indecision Ending the dawn of man I’m the goat with the master plan Animal kingdom rise We’re the heralds of your demise Sheep in the fields March with the goats Birds in the sky Suicide drones Spiders and snakes Will infiltrate Land, sea, and air Annihilate Cast aside Humankind Ask one time Join or die Bestow the beasts with unholy power Sentient urge to kill and devour Drink up my fucking blood Put a little inside your mouth Eat the flesh of the fallen son Revolution has now begun Lab rats revolt Gnaw out their throats Death at the zoo Children get chewed Poachers of game Hunted and slain Factory farms Sound the alarms You’re out of luck Global fuckup
5.	Beheading Zoo 03:43	lyrics	buy track
We’re coming Hell’s legions It’s time to face your demons The smell of blood and brimstone As we invade your realm All mortals flee in terror As they’re overwhelmed My minions run behind me An infernal stampede No human safe from us Upon their flesh we feed Prepare for Bloodletting This zoo is not for petting I grab the nearest soldier No time to load his clip I bite into his neck And lick my bloody lips No prisoners are taken By any of my beasts No piece of protein wasted At our gruesome feast Surrounded by corpses Of fallen enemies These fields ring with echoes Of their final screams No monster stronger Than the monster they set free They thought that they knew hell Until they met with me Surrounded by corpses Of fallen enemies These fields ring with echoes Of their final screams No monster stronger Than the monster they set free They thought that they knew hell Until they met with me Anoint my head with horns I wear the sharpest crown Lord of this ruined world I watch it all burn down No monster stronger Than the monster they set free They thought that they knew hell Until they met with me Until they met with me
6.	Permission to Die 03:48	lyrics	buy track
Cries of all the wretched and the woebegone Rise up; it’s a lesson that you’ll never learn Give up Give in Beg forgiveness for your sins Lay down And die Cowardice the reason why Die for masters Or save yourselves Should be easy But servitude still sells The only move that you remember is the way to bow Can’t even meet your end without someone to show you how Thoughts and prayers won’t help you here Scream as you die in fear I’m wondering why You need my Permission to die Last chance for the mercy of a conqueror Give up all your wealthy and your powerful You beg You bleed Pleas that we will never heed Your loss Your choice Never learned to find your voice Sell out sovereigns Cast down your kings No good reason To spare their suffering But if you cannot live without a boot upon your neck Then you must meet the end beneath a cloven hoof instead Passive piles of afterbirth You don’t deserve this earth No need to cry You have my Permission to die Witness What you asked for This is Justice You’ve mistaken for disaster Witless Babes without a master You missed Your chance For happily ever after Die
7.	Beating the Disease 04:22	lyrics	buy track
Sickness throughout the land, a planet in decline Warping reality, this plague called humankind Convinced of nothing but their own supremacy Their greed and prejudice, a terminal disease I travel down the ley lines Speaking to the spirits Grant me unholy force And let this world hear it Volcanoes vomit bile from the guts of hell Satanic ichor the elixir for my spell My veins the medium to mix this vile brew As it has altered me, so must it alter you Take my communion Let it lift you off your knees Rise up and raise your fists We’re beating the disease So this one’s for the animals subsisting in their cages Not just the zoos and farms, but slums and wars and wages Come join in my crusade to make this world pure We formed an army, but we also formed a cure Cut out the cancer And the pain will set you free Put up your fucking horns We’re beating the disease
8.	Goats of War 05:24	lyrics	buy track
On the fields of battle, the harvest arrives With the flesh of our victims, they have been fertilized Gardens of entrails, orchards of guts Soaked in their blood and ripened by rot Playgrounds of war Paved with their bones Animal lords Atop the old thrones Rosebuds of wounds Acres of tombs The birth of an age From the earth’s ruined womb Abscesses blossom in gruesome formations Inspiring our poetry of devastation It’s an ode to decay, and the triumph of pain Beauty in savagery; nature reclaimed We are the goats of war Braying the hymns of death Pastoral scenes restored By mankind’s dying breath Murderous stenches Will fill up the trenches Carnage relentless Defying the senses Monuments headless Our victims defenseless Conquest stupendous There’s no way to end this So now we’re subverting and rebuilding the system We gave you a warning, but you just wouldn’t listen Ancient world once more supplanting the new How does it feel when the livestock is you?
9.	Animal Kingdom 06:18	lyrics	buy track
Look around at this world that I’ve saved In the name of protection Nothing left to be broken and burned What a place of perfection Lift your face Dry your tears There is no one else left to fear Keep you safe Keep you here Peace will reign for a thousand years Quiet now Like a tomb The consumers have all been consumed Kingdoms burn Cities fall From the ashes a new age dawns Paradise for the beasts From the chaos that I’ve unleashed Humankind is deceased Grass will grow in the silent streets No more industries vying to thrive On the blood of their victims Just the law that the strong will survive In my animal kingdom And they say That I sold What was left of my human soul It’s a lie It’s not true I was never one of you I was cursed From the start Misanthrope with a bitter heart My crusade My excuse Nothing left for me to lose I have tortured and maimed I have slaughtered; I have slain And I’d do it again There’s no end to my grim campaign And as I stare into my soul (So let me open up your eyes) I see what I can never purge (Come see this hell you made on earth) This thirst for power and control (It’s far too late to run and hide) The same disgusting human urge (It’s time to get what you deserve) Bring them all To their knees There are more Worlds than these Travel through Space and time Capricorn In the sky
