"'''Track 99'''" (also known as "Better Messiah", "Dying Years", "Empty Sounds of Hate" and "Untitled" despite there already being [[Untitled|a song by this name]]) is the hidden track on the 1996 release ''[[Antichrist Superstar (album)|Antichrist Superstar]]''. Similiar to its name, the track was the ninety-ninth track on ''[[Antichrist Superstar]]''. When the album is placed on loop, the pacing to "[[Irresponsible Hate Anthem]]" matches that of the additional distorted recitation found in "Track 99", causing the album to display a perfect loop.

The album ''[[Antichrist Superstar]]'' contains 16 tracks, opened with ''[[Irresponsible Hate Anthem]]'' and ended with ''[[Man That You Fear]]''. After ''Man That You Fear'' ended, there were eighty-two tracks which were blank (each of them last until four seconds long). These blank tracks seperated ''Track 99'' with ''Man That You Fear''.

''Track 99'' cannot be considered as a song because it only contains the words spoken by [[Marilyn Manson|Manson]]. These words were distorted. A little "odd sounds" were also added onto the track.

Lyrics[edit]

   go ahead and build a better messiah, we can dig another grave
   this is your calling
   if you are hearing this, there is nothing I can do
   something has grown in my chest
   and I have seen it
   it is hard and cold
   it's been dormant for many years
   I have tried to save you, but I cannot come to save you
   but this is what you deserve
   this is what we deserve
   this is something that we have brought upon ourselves
   we are not a victim, you are not a victim
   we are not a victim, you are not a victim
   god will grovel before me
   god will crawl at my feet
   these are the dying years
   these are the dying years
   when you are suffering, know that I have betrayed you

Trivia[edit]
