[Verse 1]
Sacrifice won't suffice
Resurrection needs your death to happen twice
Fall on my heart and burn and forge
Your tortured black-smitten into the sharpest, fucking sword

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't assume that I'm always with you
It's just where my mortal body happens to be
Don't assume that I'm always with you
It's just where my mortal body happens to be

[Chorus]
No sin-eater to slay
Us children of Cain
Watching monkey suicide
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away

[Verse 2]
Christ consciousness manifest to the Golden Ratio
5 or 500 million years ago
We were 15 foot high and to die was a Bardot Bridge(t)
We never thought we'd cross to burn down, behind and below

[Chorus]
No sin-eater to slay
Us children of Cain
Watching monkey suicide
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away

[Interlude]
Don't assume that I'm always with you
It's just where my mortal body happens to be
Don't assume that I'm always with you
It's just where my mortal body happens to be
Don't assume that I'm always with you
It's just where my mortal body happens to be

[Verse 3]
So take your little black book
I see the way that you look into it
I'll eat it and I'll cut my tongue
And all the pages you spread
'Sweet as honey', you said
But I'm choking on your bitter stories

[Chorus]
No sin-eater to slay
Us children of Cain
Watching monkey suicide
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away

Brian Hugh Warner who is better known under his stage name of Marilyn Manson is a musician, painter, actor, multimedia artist, and former music journalist. His stage name is a combination of the names of two American icons, actress Marilyn Monroe and multiple murder conspiracy convict Charles Manson.

I picked that (Marilyn Manson) as the fakest stage name of all to say that this is what show business is, fake. Marilyn Monroe wasn’t even her real name, Charles Manson isn’t his real name, and now, I’m taking that to be my real name. But what’s real? You can’t find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best. As long as you know everything’s a lie, you can’t hurt yourself.

—Marylin Manson
