In the Barn of the Goat Giving Birth to Satan’s Spawn in a Dying World of Doom Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Coughing on the ground like an old used automobile
I saw the light of time, the sun was burning fields
And when the angels fall, banished from the sky
I lace my dirty boots and drag the wagon for a ride
I walk the night
I walk the night
[Verse 2]
Pounding sweat, the fever cheats the creepy mind
Pleading agony from the wagon's plague of Christ
Chanting masquerade, the crooked souls on fire
Into the circles and raise your glass of wine
I walk the line
I walk the night
I am the night
[Verse 3]
Baby, we're going out in the barn tonight
Put on your silky dress, I got a bloody appetite
A day for the masses, they call it reborn
By the power of thunder the cross will hit the ground
So, baby, you saw the burning fields as I
[Verse 4]
Baby, see the black moon rise above
A blood red sky that feats the calling of the horned one
The white gates of Heaven will turn to dust
The wagon with angels will be fed for the one
So, baby, open up your pretty eyes
[Chorus]
In the barn of the goat
Giving birth to Satan's spawn in a dying world of doom
Coughing on the ground like an old used automobile
I saw the light of time, the sun was burning fields
And when the angels fall, banished from the sky
I lace my dirty boots and drag the wagon for a ride
I walk the night
I walk the night
Pounding sweat, the fever cheats the creepy mind
Pleading agony from the wagon's plague of Christ
Chanting masquerade, the crooked souls on fire
Into the circles and raise your glass of wine
I walk the line
I walk the night
I am the night
Baby, we're going out in the barn tonight
Put on your silky dress, I got a bloody appetite
A day for the masses, they call it reborn
By the power of thunder the cross will hit the ground
So, baby, you saw the burning fields as I
Baby, see the black moon rise above
A blood red sky that feats the calling of the horned one
The white gates of Heaven will turn to dust
The wagon with angels will be fed for the one
So, baby, open up your pretty eyes
In the barn of the goat
Giving birth to Satan's spawn in a dying world of doom

In a recent track-by-track with Rocksound.TV, Volbeat explained this song and the story it tells. “I had so much fun writing these lyrics. It’s about the outcasts and fallen angels of God – all the angels that were cast out of Heaven. And I’m being told to collect them in this big wagon and bring them to a barn. There’s a ritual going on where the fallen angels are being sacrificed to Satan’s spawn to create soldiers for a new dark kingdom. So, instead of inviting my lady out to go to the cinema, I say, ‘I have something better. You have to see what’s going on in this barn… we’ve been invited to see the birth of Satan’s spawn and watch the world go down. How about that?’ I think some people will read the lyrics and go, ‘what’s wrong with this dude?’ But, it’s all for fun. It’s like a silly horror movie. Or is it?”
In essence, this song is a playful but dark, horror-themed narrative about gathering fallen angels for a ritual to birth Satan’s spawn, blending apocalyptic imagery with tongue-in-cheek humor. It’s meant to entertain like a twisted horror movie, blurring the line between satire and seriousness.
