"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."

• "Into the Fire" (Alternate Version) — Appears on the Japanese deluxe edition of The High End of Low and as a bonus track received with pre-orders of both the standard and deluxe digital albums

Lyrics

    This is the film
    close to the third act and the misery
    this isnt rain
    you rapist werewolves
    its god pissing down on you
    you wont die alone
    cause Ill break off my own arms and
    sharpen my bones and
    stab you once for each time
    I thought of you.
    trying to take something
    youll never be good enough
    to even look upon.
    Its better to push something when its slipping
    than to risk being dragged down.
    If you want to hit bottom
    dont bother try to take me with you
    and I won't answer if you call
      two heartbeats ahead
     in hell
    trying to break your fall, your fall.
    this isnt a mob
     wont need to change
    to change the names
    everyone around you has murdered someones 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 
    into the fire
