The song "Black Goat Of The Woods" by Unleash The Archers tells the story of a goat keeper who is mourning because his flock has been stolen by the night. It is revealed that the dark carries a charge, indicating that there is something sinister at play in the woods. In the royal court of hell, the goat keeper is portrayed as a jester who is bound to serve Satan's will. While the others in the court roam freely with their conscience, the Black Goat patiently waits for the night to come. The lyrics suggest that the goat keeper is not present due to susceptibility, possibly implying that he is vulnerable to external influences or manipulated by others. It is then revealed that he grinds the bones of infants to make his morning tea, depicting his disturbing and wicked nature. However, the Black Goat hides in shame, causing pain. On the battlefield, the goat keeper's scepter, symbolic of his power, transforms into steel. Anyone who encounters his blade knows his name and experiences the consequences of his actions. The goat keeper is depicted as constantly changing, taking on different forms of evil. He carries pieces of sins that have been passed down through the ages, which now fill him. The lyrics imply that he indulges in ancient rituals and incantations, murmuring phrases that belong to the Black Goat's song. The repeated chorus emphasizes the goat keeper's transformation on the battlefield and the fear associated with his name. Overall, the song portrays the goat keeper as a malevolent and powerful being, driven by dark forces and engaging in wicked acts. It utilizes imagery of hell, ritualistic practices, and the concept of transformation to convey the darker themes and story of the Black Goat Of The Woods.
