"'''Count to Six and Die (The Vacuum of Infinite Space Encompassing)'''" is the nineteenth and final track on the 2000 release ''[[Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)]]''. The sounds heard in the song's intro are that of a six-chambered revolver, which can be heard later on in the song firing off five empty rounds before the song cuts off. Manson also mentions the weapon at in several areas of the song, singing, "and it spins around," referencing the spinning of the revolver's cylindrical block, in between his counting the rounds of the revolver from one to six.

During the [[Guns, God and Government]] tour a looped version of the first approximately thirty seconds of the song were used as an intro to each performance, as can be seen and heard on the ''[[Guns, God and Government World Tour]]'' DVD

==Lyrics==
     She's got her eyes open wide
     She's got the dirt and spit of the world
     She's got her mouth on the metal
     The lips of a scared little girl
     
     I've got an angel in the lobby
     He's waiting to put me in line
     I won't ask forgiveness
     My faith has gone dry
     
     She's got her Christian prescriptures
     And death has crawled in her ear
     Like elevator music of songs that
     She shouldn't hear
     
     And it spins around- 1,2,3
     And we all lay down- 4,5,6
     Some do it fast
     And some do it better in smaller amounts

==Trivia==
* This song was recorded at Houdini's Mansion.
* The gun heard spinning in the song is a .32 caliber revolver, which belongs to none other than Manson's father, [[Hugh Warner]].
* The ambiguous sound of distant explosions can be heard behind the final clicks of the revolver, evoking the layered American symbol of fireworks and also the sound of collective human suicide - war.
