Marilyn Manson - One Assassination Under God: Chapter 1 Lyrics






One Assassination Under God

You gave us what we wished for
A few tangled strings attached
Pull back the curtain
I won't suffer for your amusement

There's no more dreams for me to sell
I choose my nightmares wisely
I don't wanna ruin the story
But it doesn't turn out well

You will always be entertained

Everybody showed up for the execution
But nobody would show their face
To shoot you in the back of the head
And call it sacrifice
They don't deserve to even say your name

Put me inside the animal
Stitch it up and shove us off a cliff
When they tear the wings from all the swine
Just monkeys will be left to fly

The pilot light has flickered out
And all the ashes will be screaming
No one can hear my last words
And no encore once we say goodbye

You will always be entertained

You will always be entertained

Everybody showed up for the execution
But nobody would show their face
To shoot you in the back of the head
And call it sacrifice
They don't deserve to even say your name

Assassination
Assassination
Assassination
Assassination

Everybody showed up for the execution
But nobody would show their face
To shoot you in the back of the head
And call it sacrifice
They don't deserve to even say your name

Sacrifice
Not a sacrifice
Not a sacrifice
Not a sacrifice

No Funeral Without Applause

It just started with a dotted line
Skin is whiter than a surgical glove
I need somebody to stitch me up
So I don't bleed on the one I love

All that's lost and all that's forgotten
There'll be no funeral without applause
All that's lost and all that's forgotten
There'll be no funeral without applause

Just a little cut to make it all feel better
There's so many scars from what it used to be
You're the only thing in this f*cking world
That can fill this hole inside of me

You can send away your firing squad
You're gonna need to behead me
Immoral looking to be immortal
But nothing fits to a T

All that's lost and all that's forgotten
There'll be no funeral without applause
All that's lost and all that's forgotten
There'll be no funeral without applause

Just a little cut to make it all feel better
There's so many scars from what it used to be
You're the only thing in this f*cking world
That can fill this hole inside of me

Cover up all of the mirrors
Cauterize all of the lies
Stop the hands on the clock forever
And forget what we left behind

All that's lost and all that's forgotten
There'll be no funeral without applause
All that's lost and all that's forgotten
There'll be no funeral without applause

All that's lost and all that's forgotten
All that's lost and all that's forgotten
All that's lost and all that's forgotten
There'll be no funeral without applause

There'll be no funeral without applause

Nod If You Understand

I need destruction
I want towers to crumble
Mothers tossing babies from the windows above

Who would wanna wake up if this is their world?
Who would wanna wake up if this is their world?

I need destruction
I want towers to crumble
Mothers tossing babies from the windows above

Who would wanna wake up if this is their world?
Who would wanna wake up if this is their world?

I won't repent
This is what I was sent here for
No reason to ask forgiveness
Pain is the language that was spoken to me
And now it's my time to answer

Look at yourself for someone to blame
You're the only one who should be ashamed

Look at yourself for someone to blame
You're the only one who should be ashamed

Stand in your lie
I'm a bomb in your building
No mercy, no pity, I don't care who survives
I'm a mistake that you can't unmake
Nod if you understand

I won't repent
This is what I was sent here for
No reason to ask forgiveness
Pain is the language that was spoken to me
And now it's my time to answer

Look at yourself for someone to blame
You're the only one who should be ashamed

Look at yourself for someone to blame
You're the only one who should be ashamed
You're the only one who should be ashamed
You're the only one who should be ashamed

Shame, shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame, shame

We've been washing the floors of the slaughterhouse
With buckets of dirty water

I won't repent
This is what I was sent here for
I won't repent
This is what I was sent here for
I won't repent
This is what I was sent here for
I won't repent
This is why I was sent

Look at yourself for someone to blame
You're the only one who should be ashamed

Look at yourself for someone to blame
You're the only one who should be ashamed
You're the only one who should be ashamed
You're the only one who should be ashamed

No, no, no, no
I won't repent

No, no, no, no
I won't repent
I won't repent
I won't repent
I won't repent

As Sick As The Secrets Within

This is no longer just my communion
The worms of the flesh have turned
With all the sacrifices I swallow
And the blood from the cup is so cold

You're only as sick as the secrets within
You're only as sick as the secrets within

It's not so evil as much as it's hungry
I see these bodies and the bones picked clean
I built this cage we've been trapped in together
Can't remember where I hid the keys

A reason for me, for me to get by
Became a need, a need to get high
Then into a life that was no life at all
No life at all

There is a trick to get out of your skin
You're only as sick as the secrets within
But the beast is calling for us and
Slowly assuming control

A reason for me, for me to get by
Became a need, a need to get high
Then into a life that was no life at all
No life at all

There is a trick to get out of your skin
You're only as sick as the secrets within
But the beast is calling for us and
Slowly assuming control

I was never your taxidermy
I'm sewn into your soul
Keep sleeping, I'll make you dream of me
Keep sleeping, I'll make you dream of me
Keep sleeping

There is a trick to get out of your skin
You're only as sick as the secrets within
But the beast is calling for us and
Slowly assuming control

You're only as sick as the secrets within
You're only as sick as the secrets within
You're only as sick as the secrets within
You're only as sick as the secrets within
You're only as sick as the secrets within
You're only as sick as the secrets within

Keep sleeping, I'll make you dream of me
Keep sleeping, I'll make you dream of me
Keep sleeping, I'll make you dream of me
Keep sleeping

Sacrilegious

I'm feeling sacrilegious, put your arms around me
I'll stab you in the back
You'll never see a skeleton christ
I'll be the one in bible black

You should have treated your saviors better
With the tombs that you left behind
Do you think that coffins gossip
And all of your ghosts are blind?

Are you here for the resurrection?
How deep did you dig my grave?

You're the one who needs to be saved

Let's get evil, I'm feeling sacrilegious
Let's get evil, I'm feeling sacrilegious
Let's get evil, I'm feeling sacrilegious
Let's get evil, I'm feeling sacrilegious

You can climb to the top of my horns
But make sure that you don't look down
Don't spit in the face of God
When you're trying to wear his crown

Are you here for the resurrection?
How deep did you dig my grave?

Let's get evil, I'm feeling sacrilegious (coming back, baby)

Let's get evil, I'm feeling sacrilegious (coming back, baby)

Death Is Not A Costume

Try to get inside my head
All the windows are painted shut
Take your horse to my water to drink
I'm not the gift that you think

Cross my name off the devil's to-do list
Burn every page in that little black book
And we're praying it remains in the mouth of God

You've got cracks in your magic
Blood on your hands
Cracks in your magic
Blood on your hands

I'm the one
The one that you left behind
Wish I knew you
Knew you when you were alive
It's not a costume
It's not how I wanted to die
It's not a costume
It's not how I wanted to die

Cross my name off the devil's to-do list
Burn every page in that little black book
And we're praying it remains in the mouth of God

You've got cracks in your magic
Blood on your hands
Cracks in your magic
Blood on your hands

I'm the one
The one that you left behind
Wish I knew you
Knew you when you were alive
It's not a costume
It's not how I wanted to die
It's not a costume
It's not how I wanted to die

I'll break your sunshine to scare my shadow away
I'll break your sunshine to scare my shadow away
I'll break your sunshine to scare my shadow away
I'll break your sunshine to scare my shadow away
I'll break your sunshine to scare my shadow away

I'm the one
The one that you left behind
Wish I knew you
Knew you when you were alive
It's not a costume
It's not how I wanted to die
It's not a costume
It's not how I wanted to die

I'll break your sunshine
I'll break your sunshine to scare my shadow away

I'll break your sunshine
I'll break your sunshine (to scare my shadow away)

Meet Me In Purgatory

Give me your secrets, I want a confession
Nothing good stays good for long
How much worse than me can you be?

If they cast me out, I want you to come with me
We can be one, we can be one
In endless oblivion

Are you gonna pray for me when I'm in purgatory?
Or just stare through the stained glass at my body lying there?
Are you gonna pray for me when I'm in purgatory?
Or just stare through the stained glass at my body lying there?

You tell me you love me
Your mouth is a guillotine
I'll take your hand
And I'll let you take my head

Are you gonna pray for me when I'm in purgatory?
Or just stare through the stained glass at my body lying there?
Are you gonna pray for me when I'm in purgatory?
Or just stare through the stained glass at my body lying there?

If they cast me out, I want you to come with me
We can be one, we can be one
In endless oblivion
We can be one, we can be one
In endless oblivion
We can be one, we can be one
In endless oblivion

Are you gonna pray for me when I'm in purgatory?
Or just stare through the stained glass at my body lying there?
Are you gonna pray for me when I'm in purgatory?
Or just stare through the stained glass at my body lying there?

Will you stay by my side
Or will you stand in their way?
What will you do
When they come to murder me?

Will you stay by my side
Or will you stand in their way?
What will you do
When they come to murder me?

Raise The Red Flag

Your autopsy table is ready
Pay off the drug deals you made with God
A last meal then your crucifixion
If you're not paranoid, it's probably too late

I don't give a f*ck if you say you're sorry
I won't accept your surrender
I don't give a f*ck if you say you're sorry
I won't accept your surrender

It's time to beat up the bullies and wash the bullseye off my back
My red flag is your white one soaked in blood
Cadaver dogs already know your face
Why pretend in a room full of fakes?
Something made up for idiots to praise
Losers love liars 'til their dying day
Losers love liars 'til their dying day

I don't give a f*ck if you say you're sorry
I won't accept your surrender
I don't give a f*ck if you say you're sorry
I won't accept your surrender

It's time to beat up the bullies and wash the bullseye off my back
My red flag is your white one soaked in blood
My red flag is your white one soaked in blood

Your loyalty lies on the wrong side of the future
Your loyalty lies on the wrong side of the future

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

It's time to beat up the bullies and wash the bullseye off my back
My red flag is your white one soaked in blood
My red flag is your white one soaked in blood

It's time to beat up the bullies and wash the bullseye off my back
My red flag is your white one soaked in blood

Sacrifice Of The Mass

They started the last rites
The earth has opened wide
I can hear my mother's voice
Time for me to say goodbye

I never learned how to love
Those drugs weren't meant for healing
I just gave for the sake of taking
Now God will swallow me

Now I hear the children chanting and the widows want to eat
I think they've helped themselves to enough of my bad dreams

Lay your head against my heart
Can you feel me fading?
The first burial that I've been to
Tell the abyss to stop staring at me

The greater the star
The more violent it's demise
Maybe it was forced attrition
When you pray you cannot lie, oh

The greater the star
The more violent it's demise
Maybe it was forced attrition
When you pray you cannot lie, oh

When we lifted the stone
We should have known
We'd be bitten by the snake below

When we lifted the stone
We should have known
We'd be bitten by the snake below

When we lifted the stone
We should have known
We'd be bitten by the snake below

When we lifted the stone
We should have known
We'd be bitten by the snake below

The greater the star
The more violent it's demise
Maybe it was forced attrition
When you pray you cannot lie, oh

The greater the star
The more violent it's demise
Maybe it was forced attrition
When you pray you cannot lie, oh

Mother can't mourn me
Father won't win my fights
I'm dressed in my mortuary best
I'm ready for my ride

The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb
They're waiting with open arms for me to join them soon
