"The Fall of Adam" is the seventeenth track on the 2000 release Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death). The song referenced "Celebritarian" for the first time. The song begins with an acoustic melody that is soon joined by an equally harmonic vocal performance from Marilyn Manson. Before long, the direction of the song changes when the instrumentation grows heavy and Manson begins to evoke the chant "Do you love your guns? Your God and your government?"

Lyrics
The Abraham Lincoln town cars arrive To dispose of our king and queen They orchestrated dramatic new scenes for Celebritarian™ needs When one world ends Something else begins But without a scream Just a whisper because we just start it over again... Do you love your guns? Your god and your government? Let me hear you (hey) Do you love your guns? Do you love your god and your government? Let me hear you goddamn it (hey) Do you love your guns? And your god and your government? Let me hear you (hey) Your mother? And your father? And your baby? Goddamn it let me hear you (hey) Do you love your guns? I want your mothers and your fathers To hear you say it (hey) Every single one of you motherfuckers Let me hear it from you (hey) Do you love your guns? And your god and your government? (hey) I wanna hear it from everyone I wanna hear you say you want a gun Let me hear it (hey)
