"Antichrist Superstar" is the twelfth track on Marilyn Manson's 1996 studio album, Antichrist Superstar.
The song itself is symbolic of the climax of the concept album's story, the point where the abused and wretched victim at the center of the tale takes on the identity of the nihilistic culture war iconoclast Antichrist Superstar, rampaging the world and destroying anything in his path. This image is conveyed by the song's triumphal and ominous tone; the guitar riffs are deliberately reminiscent of horns and trumpets in a totalitarian rally, in which Marilyn Manson sings, and could be an allusion to how his critics see him as a threat to Christian morality and, therefore, the world.
In concert, Marilyn Manson usually sings the song atop a podium in a stage filled with banners embellished with the album's distinctive "lightning bolt/shock" symbol, much like the Nazi Nuremberg Rallies and sings the song with highly exaggerated body movements and postures meant to mock and parody dictators and televangelists.[1]

Lyrics[]
You built me up with your wishing hell
I didn't have to sell you
You threw your money in the pissing well
You do just what they tell you
Repent, that's what I'm talking about
I shed the skin to feed the fake
Repent, that's what I'm talking about
Whose mistake am I anyway?
Cut the head off
Grows back hard
I am the Hydra
Now you'll see your star
Prick your finger it is done
The moon has now eclipsed the sun
Angel has spread its wings
The time has come for bitter things
Prick your finger it is done
The moon has now eclipsed the sun
Angel has spread its wings
The time has come for bitter things
Repent, that's what he's talking about
I shed the skin to feed the fake
Repent, that's what he's talking about
Whose mistake am I anyway?
Cut the head off
Grows back hard
I am the Hydra
Now you'll see your star
Time has come it is quite clear
Our Antichrist is almost here
Time has come it is quite clear
Our Antichrist is almost here
Time has come it is quite clear
Our Antichrist is almost here
Cut the head off
Grows back hard
I am the Hydra
Now you'll see your star
[repeat until the end:]
When you are suffering, know that I have betrayed you
