Well known as a literary prism through which much great written work has been filtered into his vivid, lurid spectrum, Marilyn Manson incorporates one very obvious influence on this album, most notably with “Slave Only Dreams to Be King” – namely, Oscar Wilde.
“Slave” reads very much like one of Ma...
[Intro]
The human will, that force unseen
The offspring of a deathless soul
Can hew away to any goal
Though walls of granite intervene
Be not impatient in delay
But wait as one who understands
When spirit rises and commands
The Gods are ready to obey
[Verse 1]
Take my money like an ugly bee
Covered in my honey, too dumb to see
My Fibonacci blinded by your jealousy
I'm happy to pull my veins out and braid a rope
I don't need hope to know that you'd die slow
I'm happy to pull my veins out and braid a rope
I don't need hope to know that you'd die slow
[Hook]
You are what you beat, yeah
You are what you beat, yeah
[Chorus]
And then we met our brand new parents
But they didn't know it yet
So we chanted, "WED, WED, WED!"
But they didn't know they were dead
Didn't know they were dead
[Verse 2]
Then the witch tied her fruit to a stick
When our coin was looking too thin
It's like a winter in Hades, we drooled for the ladies
As if the apple was owned by God
[Chorus]
And then we met our brand new parents
But they didn't know it yet
So we chanted, "WED, WED, WED!"
But they didn't know they were dead
Didn't know they were dead
[Bridge]
Slave never dreams to be free
Slave only dreams to be King
Slave never dreams to be free
Slave only dreams to be King
[Hook]
You are what you beat, yeah
You are what you beat, yeah
