From MansonWiki, the Marilyn Manson encyclopedia
"Track 99" (also known as "Better Messiah", "Dying Years", "Empty Sounds of Hate" and "Untitled" despite there already being a song by this name) is the ninety-ninth track on the 1996 release Antichrist Superstar. It is separated from the final song on the album, "Man That You Fear", by eighty-two tracks about four seconds long in duration. 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.

[edit] Lyrics
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
[edit] Trivia
- If the track is sped up to around 300% the outro to "Mister Superstar" can be heard with the lyrics "superstar, superfuck baby..." being repeated. Doing the inverse and slowing down the outro of "Mister Superstar" reveals "Track 99".
