"Into the Fire" is the fourteenth from Marilyn Manson's 2009 release The High End of Low. Its title was revealed on April 16, 2009, in an update on the band's official website. Despite its slow, melancholic sound, "Into the Fire" is one of the more optimistic songs in Marilyn Manson's catalogue, discouraging being influenced by those who "want to hit bottom."
Music details
Reviewing for The Quietus, John Robb described the song as "Another dramatic neo-ballad" which "rolls in with piano and, gasp! an orchestra." He also cited it as "like Manson's 'Imagine' but it doesn't lull you into a false sense of security- there are still billowing clouds of gloom, and it all sounds as if it should be shoehorned into the next Tim Burton gothic horror masterpiece. There is something quite 70s about the song - possibly a hint of the great Mott the Hoople when Ian Hunter sung his ace weary ballads."[1]

Lyrics
This is the film
close to the third act and the misery
this isn't rain
you rapist werewolves
this is god pissing down on you
Don't worry,
you won't die alone
I'll break off my own arms and
sharpen my bones and
stab you once for each time
I thought of you,
trying to take something
you'll never be good enough
to even look upon
it's better to push something when it's slipping
than to risk being dragged down
If you want to hit bottom
don't bother taking me with you
and I won't answer if you call
i'm two heartbeats ahead in hell
trying to break your fall
this isn't a mob,
I won't need to change
to change the names
everyone around you has murdered
someone's something sacred
there isn't one nail without dirt under it
there isn't any "white cotton panties"
that aren't soaked and stained red
it's better to push something when it's slipping
than to risk being dragged down
if you want to hit bottom
and I won't answer if you call
i'm two heartbeats ahead in hell
trying to break your fall
into the fire
into the fire
into the fire
into the fire
into the fire
into the fire
into the fire
into the fire
