[Intro]
Ailanrutas si siht

[Verse 1]
When all your demons die
Even if just one survives
I will still be here to hold you
No matter how cold you are
No matter how cold you are

I see the terror in your teardrop
Take your belief
Make it snow, let go
And wait together until we thaw

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want to be another bullet hole
In the exit sign of your road
I don't want to be another bullet hole
In the exit sign of your road

[Chorus]
Just smile like a rifle, hot metal in the setting sun
Just smile like a rifle, hot metal in the setting sun
I was invited to eat the young
I was invited to eat the young

[Verse 2]
A stunning possession of symbolic firearms
In the bottomless celebrity scar
A stunning possession of symbolic firearms
In the bottomless celebrity scar

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want to be another bullet hole
In the exit sign of your road
I don't want to be another bullet hole
In the exit sign of your road

[Chorus]
So, just smile like a rifle, hot metal in the setting sun
Just smile like a rifle, hot metal in the setting sun
And I was invited to eat the young
I was invited to eat the young

[Interlude]
Si siht ailanrutas

[Verse 3]
By the roadside, all the bones picked clean
No gas in our machine
I will still be here to hold you
No matter how cold you are
No matter how cold we are

Can't stop now, no flowers to smell
The Earth ate up the Son, can't even load my gun
It seems like Saturnalia

[Refrain]
Sat-sat-sat-sat-Saturnalia
Sat-sat-sat-sat-Saturnalia

[Bridge]
There's no exit plan here
No emergency room in this tomb
And this door only opens one way
There's no exit plan here
No emergency room in this tomb
And this door only opens one way

[Refrain]
Sat-sat-sat-sat-Saturnalia
Sat-sat-sat-sat-Saturnalia
Sat-sat-sat-sat-Saturnalia

[Outro]
Blinded by blackness, we're just empty shells
In the deafening void of our last sunset
Blinded by blackness, just empty shells
In the deafening void of our last sunset

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
