When I say the villain, I mean in the traditional sense like in Macbeth, like in anything else. The hero doesn't do anything in any story and I didn't have to go to school to learn this, it was me being a fan of literature and film. The hero doesn't do anything different. The hero always stays the same, there’s no character arc, he's always the hero. The villain is the person who has the chance to change something. They might break the rules, but that’s the thing, sometimes if you don't fucking break the rules, you're not going to save anything, you’re not going to change anything." |source=—Marilyn Manson explaining the concept of the new album.<ref>[http://loudwire.com/marilyn-manson-the-villain-is-always-the-catalyst/].

Lyrics[edit]

    Hey, cruel world…
    You don’t have what it takes
    We don’t need your faith.
    We’ve got fucking fate.



    Hey, cruel world…
    You don’t have what it takes
    We don’t need your faith.
    We’ve got fucking fate.



    Creator
    Preserver
    Destroyer
    Ask which one I am.
    There’s no drugged-out devils or
    Square-halo angels
    Walking among us.



    I am among no one
    I am among no one
    I am among no one
    No one



    Hey, cruel world…
    You don’t have what it takes
    We don’t need your faith.
    We’ve got fucking fate.
    Fate
    Fate
    Fate



    The center of the universe
    Cannot exist
    When there are no,
    No edges
    The center of the universe
    Cannot exist
    When there are no,
    No edges



    Hey, cruel world…
    You don’t have what it takes
    We don’t need your faith.
    We’ve got fucking fate.
    Fate
    Fate
