Sacrifice Of The Mass Marilyn Manson

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 its demise
Maybe it was forced attrition
When you pray you cannot lie
♪
The greater the star
The more violent its demise
Maybe it was forced attrition
When you pray you cannot lie

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

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
