[Verse 1]
Late last night on my way home
Somewhere in the northern woods
I walked into a Redwood grove
Found folks in big black hoods
They bowed before an idol of an owl in the firelight
When I walked past a black mass last night

[Verse 2]
They began an incantation
Of an ancient pagan spell
With words from Revelations
Of fire and war and hell
They laid a lamb there on the altar, then they raised that knife
When I walked past a black mass last night

[Verse 3]
I saw professors, preachers, political leaders
Wear the mark of the beast
I saw CEO's take off their robes
And pray to the demon priest
And then they bared their bodies in a bloody sacrifice
When I walked past a black mass last night

[Verse 4]
So I ran towards my home
With a demon on my trail
They want my mortal soul
So won’t you tell my tale
I seen 'em raise the devil, he's an owl with a thousand eyes
When I walked past a black mass last night
When I walked past a black mass last night
