"'''Overneath the Path of Misery'''" is the fourth song on [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]]'s eighth studio album ''[[Born Villain]]''. The song first appeared in the [[Born Villain (film)|''Born Villain'' trailer]] released on September 1, 2011. The title of the song was initially thought to be "No Reason" due to the amount of times the phrase is repeated throughout the song, though [[Marilyn Manson]] confirmed later in 2011 at [[The Path of Misery]] art exhibition that the song's title was in fact, "Overneath the Path of Misery."<ref name="Revolver Magazine'">[http://www.providermodule.com/art.php?fn_mode=fullnews&fn_id=346 Manson Confirms Song Title At Art Show], 2nd Nov. 2011, ''provider module.com''.</ref>

     And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death

    A poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more

    It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,  
+
    Signifying nothing."
