Children Of Cain

Marilyn Manson · Born Villain [2012]

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 f*cking sword



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



No sin-eater to slay us children of Cain

Watching monkey suicide, Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away



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

we never thought we'd cross

To burn down behind and below



No sin-eater to slay us children of Cain

Watching monkey suicide, Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away



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



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



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
