"'''♠'''" ("Spade") is the tenth track on the 2003 release ''[[The Golden Age of Grotesque]]''. The audio sampled at the beginning is from an instructional video for women in abusive relationships. The woman says, ''"Both of us aren't going to last. I'm not going to talk to him. I tell him to feel while I have a bad idea about doing this. He molds and twists trying to keep back the feelings welling up and up. But I realize why he did this to me. Don't listen to them when they ask for forgiveness. Don't accept their apology. Take what you need from them and let them know you have someone else. The tears you shed are the tears of millions. It all ends now."'' <ref>[http://www.nachtkabarett.com/babalon/topic/3451--Mysterious-Audio/post:99825 Mysterious Audio in Manson's Music: Spade], BABALON.</ref>

== Lyrics ==
     The beauty spot was borrowed and
     Now my sweet knife rusts tomorrow.
     I'm a confession that is waiting to be heard.
     
     Burn your empty rain down on me
     Whisper your deathbeat so softly
     We bend our knees
     At the altar of my ego
     
     You drained my heart
     And made a spade
     But there's still traces of me
     in your veins
     You drained my heart
     And made a spade
     But there's still traces of me
     in your veins
     
     All my lilies' mouths are open
     Like they're begging for dope
     And hoping
     Their bitter petal chant,
     "We can kick , you won't be back."
     
     I'm a diamond that is tired
     Of all the faces I've acquired
     We must secure the shadow
     Ere the substance fades
     
     You drained my heart
     And made a spade
     But there's still traces of me
     in your veins
     You drained my heart
     And made a spade
     But there's still traces of me
     in your veins
     And we said, 'til we die
     And we said, 'til we die

== Trivia ==
* The lyrics "You drained my heart / And made a spade" are similar to the line "I drained my heart and burn my soul" in the 1997 song "[[Apple of Sodom]]".
