We are counting on you to bring us home this year
I won't let you down
I know you won't, baby
A white horse ride on a bloody sky
Murder on my face and death in my eyes
Tomb inside my head, the hell I'm forced to live
I gave you all the pain that I had to give
And now I'm coming home
Sister why do I, do I want to kill you?
I fall to my knees, please, I love
Mother, why do I, do I want to kill you?
I am your only son, the one, I love you
I dream pitch black, sleep of misery
A ghost across the mist, she come to set me free
An angel in my world, now she has to bleed
A river of blood, come back to me
And now we're coming home
Sister why do I, do I want to kill you?
I fall to my knees, please, I love
Mother, why do I, do I want to kill you?
I am your only son, the one, I love you
I am your only son, the one, Michael
Help me mama, please, please, Michael
I only wanna stay a day, Michael
See me as I fall, your all, Michael
I love you mama
I love you too, Michael

Rob Zombie's 'Michael' stands as a haunting centerpiece on his 2003 album *Hellbilly Deluxe*, blending industrial rock with gothic horror aesthetics. The track exemplifies Zombie's signature sound, characterized by distorted guitars, pounding drums, and a brooding vocal delivery that evokes the dark atmosphere of his film *House of 1000 Corpses*. Released during the height of his career as a visual artist and musician, the song reinforces his reputation for merging cinema and music into a cohesive, terrifying experience. Its influence extends beyond the genre, cementing its place in the canon of alternative rock and horror-themed recordings. The composition remains a defining example of early 2000s industrial metal, capturing a specific era of musical intensity and theatricality.
