Hallelujah Goat Lyrics
One lucky bastard finds it's way for picking up a brand new fire rose
All the days of wine and pitiful lie, the pitiful rhymes were all a long time ago
That's the way it all will end
Die alone you never will
Hell is here unleash your trail
Well the lord above has never been on my side or your side, Hallelujah goat
Walking through the fire like a soldier
Kicking the door, and kicking the devil's whore
Heaven where did you go
People are searching for love
So easy blaming the horned
Mankind the sinner
Forever it burns
All the days of wine and pitiful lie, the pitiful rhymes were all a long time ago
Die alone you never will
Hell is here unleash your trail
Walking through the fire like a soldier
Kicking the door, and kicking the devil's whore
People are searching for love
So easy blaming the horned
Mankind the sinner
Forever it burns

I think in this sense, "goat" is referring to a scapegoat. The singer refers back to days a "long time ago" where men were lucky and enjoyed wine, but now "hell is here" and people no longer enjoy things. Instead, we are all looking for someone/something to blame our problems on, which in this case seems to be God, or religion in general. The title then makes sense, as "Hallelujah" is often used in a religious setting, so a Hallelujah Goat would be using religion as a scapegoat to blame problems upon.
The song is about personal struggle, defiance, and the search for redemption. It's about someone who's had a challenging life but remains strong and still, determined to overcome their obstacles. They don't fear dying alone and feel that their life is already a living hell. Having received no divine intervention or assistance from a higher power in their life, they continue to face their challenges head-on, often comparing themselves to a "soldier" who defies the devil's influence.
