"Minute of Decay" is the fourteenth track on the 1996 release Antichrist Superstar. The opening sample "From a dead man... greetings" was sampled from the movie adaptation of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. The first thirty seconds of the song were sometimes used as an intro to "Tourniquet" during the Against All Gods tour.

Lyrics
There's not much left to love,
too tired today to hate. I feel the empty. I feel the minute of decay. I'm on my way down now, I'd like to take you with me, I'm on my way down, I'm on my way down now, I'd like to take you with me, I'm on my way down. The minute that it's born, it begins to die. I'd love to just give in, I'd love to live this lie. I've been to black and back, I've whited out my name. A lack of pain, a lack of hope, a lack of anything to say. I'm on my way down now, I'd like to take you with me. I'm on my way down - I'm on my way down ! The minute that it's born, it begins to die. I'd love to just give in, I'd love to live this lie, I'd love to live this lie, How do you see it? How do you know ? How do you see it? (I've looked a head and everything was dead) How do you know? (I guess that I am too) How do you see it? (I've looked a head and everything was dead) How do you know? (I guess that I am) I guess that I am too ! The minute that it's born, it begins to die. I'd love to just give in. Oh, I'd love to live this lie. I'd love to live this lie, I'm on my way down now, I'd like to take you with me, I'm on my way down, I'm on my way down now, I'd like to take you with me, I'm on my way down.
Trivia
- As noted in his book, Manson started to cry while recording the vocals to this song.
