"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[edit]
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
