{{Song intro|The Origin of the Feces}} This is the altered version of "[[Prelude to Agony]]" on the last album ''[[Slow, Deep and Hard]]''. This one sounds no different than the original apart from sound effects at the beginning and Steele at the end saying "Hey, I got some good news for you morons. This is gonna be out last song!". The lyrics is about rebelling on women after being sexually puppeted by them.

Your cries of pain my pleasure
