"'''The Fall of Adam'''" is the seventeenth track on the 2000 release ''[[Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)]]''. The song referenced "[[Celebritarian]]" for the first time. The song begins with an acoustic melody that is soon joined by an equally harmonic vocal performance from [[Marilyn Manson]]. Before long, the direction of the song changes when the instrumentation grows heavy and Manson begins to evoke the chant "Do you love your guns? Your God and your government?"

The thunder rolls. "I wanna hear every one of you fuckers say you want a gun! Let me hear it!" Hero becomes haranguing demagogue; [[Adam Kadmon]] gives up on saving humankind and starts handing out artillery. It's all we deserve.
