"'''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.

== 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.
