Hear Marilyn Manson's Anthemic New Song "Don't Chase the Dead"

"Don't chase the dead/Or they'll end up chasing you"

"If tonight lasts forever/It won't matter if there's no tomorrow." So goes the big, anthemic chorus of Marilyn Manson's new song "Don't Chase the Dead," which the Antichrist Superstar unveiled today (September 10th). The apocalyptic, darkly romantic cut is the second single off the shock rocker's forthcoming, Shooter Jennings-produced full-length WE ARE CHAOS, the follow-up to the LP's title track, which arrived in July paired with a stunning animated music video. (You can pre-order the album now via Loma Vista.) The 10-track album is due out tomorrow, September 11th. Stream "Don't Chase the Dead" above and check out its lyrics, courtesy of Genius, below.

"I have my version of the story, and Shooter probably has his version of the story, but I wanted the listeners to have their version of the story, as well," Manson recently told Youth Code's Sara Taylor, who interviewed him for Revolver, about WE ARE CHAOS, which is a concept album. "So I began it with the intro prose to try to set the tone for what was to come on the record.

"And we made it 10 songs so it would be treated, in the traditional sense, of how an LP works. How there's a Side A and a Side B, because it changes. Just like in a movie or a play, there's three acts. And we were very particular about how we pieced it all together, but it was not difficult. There were no extra songs that we left off."

"Don't Chase the Dead" lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Angels in exile
Here lies the dead
An ice cream truck in your inferno

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you
Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you

[Chorus]
If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow
If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow
No tomorrow

[Verse 2]
I got my tickets to Hell
I know you so well
And I know you wanna be there too

[Chorus]
If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow
If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow
No tomorrow

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you
Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you
Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you

[Chorus]
If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow
If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow

[Outro]
Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you
Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you
