Manson Marilyn - The Reflecting God Chords & Tabs

Marilyn Manson "The Reflecting God" 
Album: Antichrist Superstar (1996)

Nobody wrote an accurate guitar tab for this classic song so I figured it was about time.
This is definitely one of Manson's best.

Drop those guitars down to D.

It starts with the bass intro.

- Chorus

Lyrics:
your world is an ashtray
we burn and coil like cigarettes
the more you cry your ashes turn to mud.
the nature of the leeches, 
the virgin's feeling cheated
you've only spent a second of your life.
my world is unaffected, there is an exit here
I say it is and then it's true.
there is a dream inside a dream,
I'm wide awake the more I sleep
you'll understand when I'm dead.
I went to god just to see, and I was looking at me.
saw heaven and hell were lies,
when I'm god everybody dies!

Chorus:
scar, can you feel my power?
shoot here and the world gets smaller
scar,scar,can you feel my power?
one shot and the world gets smaller

let's jump upon the sharp swords
and cut away our smiles.
without the threat of death
there's no reason to live at all.
my world is unaffected, there is an exit here
I say it is and then it's true,
there is a dream inside a dream,
I'm wide awake the more I sleep
you'll understand when I'm dead

each thing i show you is a piece of my death.
no salvation, no forgiveness
this is beyond your experience
forgiveness! forgiveness! forgiveness!...
Shoot! Shoot! Shoot motherfucker!


That's it.  Wicked song.  Katana601@hotmail.com if you have any questions.
