"Into the Fire" is the fourteenth from Marilyn Manson's 2009 release The High End of Low. Its title was revealed on April 16, 2009, in an update on the band's official website. Despite its slow, melancholic sound, "Into the Fire" is one of the more optimistic songs in Marilyn Manson's catalogue, discouraging being influenced by those who "want to hit bottom."

Lyrics

The following represents the lyrics as they are heard in the song's demo version:

    We missed the film close
    To the third act and the misery
    It's not rain you rapist werewolves
    It's God pissing down on you
    I won't die alone cause I'll break off my own arms
    Sharpen my bones, stab you once for each time I thought you 
    Were trying to take something you'll never be good enough
    To even look upon
    
    It's better to push something when it's slipping
    Than to risk being dragged down
    If you want to hit bottom
    Don't bother try to taking me with you
    And I won't answer if you call
    Too happy to let in Hell
    Trying to break your fall,
    Your fall
    
    This isn't mine
    Won't need to change the names
    Everyone around you has murdered someone,
    Something sacred 
    And isn't one nail without dirt under it 
    Isn't any white cotton panties 
    That aren't soaked and stained red 
    
    It's better to push something when it's slipping
    Than to risk being dragged down
    If you want to hit bottom
    Don't bother try to taking me with you
    And I won't answer if you call
    Too happy to let in Hell
    Trying to break your fall,
    Your fall
    
    Into the fire
    Into the fire
    Into the fire
    Into the fire
    Fire, oh...
    Into the fire
    Fire, oh...
    Into the fire
    Fire, oh...
    Into the fire
    Fire, oh...
