If there are too many sheep - too many sheep,
Then there will be - then there will be,
Then there will be too many wolves - too many wolves,
And if there are too many wolves - too many wolves,

Then:

The goat comes down from the mountain. The goat comes down from the mountain.
Comes down from the mountain: The goat.

Doom doom doooom.

It comes down from the mountain to deliver the truth.

The ultimate doom.
Starvation and rot.
Absolute doom.
Complete and utter loss.
A dark fate.
The bright moon.
It is always too soon.

The wolf's howl is cut short.
Rended through by horns.
Dark furious horns.
The goat has come down from the mountain.
And you have certainly been warned.

Because it's simple:

When there are too many sheep - too many sheep,
Then there will be too many wolves - too many wolves.
No more sheep.
Too many wolves.

And then the goat comes down from the mountain.
To deliver the grand proclamation:

Your life was a waste, your eating was a lie,
Everything you did did not matter,
Does not matter because now you will die.
For when the goat comes down from the mountain, what are you to do?

You cannot plead, and you cannot beg.
You ate too many sheep, you bred too many wolves.
You have overcome the valley of the lamb.

Doom doom doooom.

So over the hill, there is a moon,
The bleating of the goat, a glorious sound.
To right what is wrong.
A terrible song.

For when there are too many sheep - too many sheep,
then there will be,
Too many wolves - Too many wolves,
And the simple fact, is simply that,
If there are too many wolves...

Then the goat shall come down from the mountain.

Doom doom doooom.

Absolute doom.
Undying gloom
Endless doom.
Midnight moon.

And the sun shall never rise again.

Doom doom doooom.
