I am 99% sure these are the correct lyrics:

I killed a man, cause he killed my goat I put my hands around his throat He tried to reason with the sky and the clouds But it didn't matter cause they can't hear a sound

Chorus

It's just the Curl of the Burl (x2) That's just the way of the world It's just the Curl of the Burl

Splinters in my skin, just like needles and pins I cut through the pine, love the feeling it gives Been out here for days, running through these trees I'm using my hands, cutting through the disease

Chorus

I feed the powerless. Chew it up, spit the rest. x2

Chorus

Oh and of course I forgot about the oooooohhhsss.

If you don't agree, look up a vocals only video on youtube. It's pretty clear what the lyrics are (unlike many Mastodon songs).

It's not goat but gall

@Revers goat rhymes with throat ... so would disagree with your assumption.
