Marilyn Manson Announces New Album ‘One Assassination Under God’

Marilyn Manson has just announced his new album, One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1, alongside the third new song, “Sacrilegious.”

The nine-song record, the first from the embattled shock rocker since 2020’s We Are Chaos, is set to be released on Nov. 22 through new label home Nuclear Blast.

News of the album follows the prior release of two new songs and a recently completed comeback tour supporting Five Finger Death Punch. It was the first full tour since 2019 for Manson, who in recent years has been entangled in legal issues stemming from a litany of detailed abuse allegations from numerous women.

Marilyn Manson, “Sacrilegious” Lyrics

I’m feeling sacrilegious
Put your arms around me, I’ll stab you in the back
You’ll never see a skeleton Christ
I’ll be the one in Bible black

You should have treated your saviors better
With the tombs that you left behind
Do you think that coffins gossiping
All of your ghosts are blind?

Are you here for the resurrection?
How deep did you dig my grave?

You’re the one who needs to be saved

Let’s get evil, I’m feeling sacrilegious
Let’s get evil, I’m feeling sacrilegious
Let’s gеt evil, I’m feeling sacrilegious
Let’s gеt evil, I’m feeling sacrilegious

You can climb to the top of my horns
But make sure that you don’t look down
Don’t spit in the face of God
When you’re trying to wear His crown

Are you here for the resurrection?
How deep did you dig my grave?

Let’s get evil, I’m feeling sacrilegious
Let’s get evil, I’m feeling sacrilegious
Let’s get evil, I’m feeling sacrilegious
Let’s get evil, I’m feeling sacrilegious

Are you here for the resurrection?
How deep did you dig my grave?

You’re the one who needs to be saved

You can’t kill it until it’s born
You can’t kill it until it’s born
You can’t kill it until it’s born
You can’t kill it until it’s born

Let’s get evil, I’m feeling sacrilegious
Let’s get evil, I’m feeling sacrilegious
Let’s get evil, I’m feeling sacrilegious (Coming back)
Let’s get evil, I’m feeling sacrilegious (Coming back, baby)
Let’s get evil, I’m feeling sacrilegious (Coming back)
Let’s get evil, I’m feeling sacrilegious (Coming back, baby)
Let’s get evil, I’m feeling sacrilegious (Coming back)
Let’s get evil, I’m feeling sacrilegious (Coming back, baby)
Coming back
Coming back, baby
