Apple Of Sodom

Various Artists · Other Songs - Various Artists

sung by Marilyn Manson

I found the center of fruit is late,

It is the center of truth today,

Cut the apple in two,

Oh, I pray it isn't true,

I found the center of fruit is late,

Is the center of truth today,

I cut the apple in two,

Oh, I pray it isn't true,

I've got something you can never eat,

I've got something you can never eat,

I've got something you can never eat,

I've got something you can never eat,

I take my heart and burn myself,

I turn the chord to stunt my growth,

I play to die in space,

So come on me, its now,

So come on me, its now,

Come on me, its now,

(I'm dying, I hope you're dying too,)

Come on me, its now,

I'm dying, I hope you're dying too,

I'm dying, I hope you're dying too,

I'm dying, I hope you're dying too,

I'm dying, I hope you're dying too,

I'm dying, I hope you're dying too,

I'm dying, I hope you're dying too,

I'm dying, I hope you're dying too,

Take this from me, (take me, take me,)

Take this from me, (take me, take me,)

One, two, three,

It is the sweet gone bad,

One, two, three,

You can't learn to ---- stale

One, two, three,

It is the sweet gone bad,

One, two, three,

You can't learn to ---- stale

I've got something you can never eat,

I've got something you can never eat,

I've got something you can never eat, [repeat till fade]

Apple Of Sodom

Various Artists' "Apple Of Sodom" stands as a poignant song in the global folk and protest music canon, often associated with the Spanish song "Manzana de Sodom". The track captures the somber spirit of exile and the harsh realities of life in the Americas, themes central to the work of artists like Los Enanitos Verdes who popularized similar narratives. Recorded in the mid-20th century, the piece reflects a tradition of acoustic storytelling that blends indigenous influences with European folk structures. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke a sense of shared human struggle across borders, making it a staple in collections dedicated to world music and historical social commentary. The recording serves as a testament to the power of unaccompanied vocals and simple instrumentation to convey deep emotional resonance.
