Mijael Maratuech *This* drummer can play whatever the hell he wants and it'd still sound better than 99.9999999% of what other drummers play. He's a genius!

"Silent knife, unholy knife, a bridge of cracks click as I twist my spine I turn to find a visitor Rapture me my Lolita And I know she knows that I killed my love The minister, the leap of oath She's as white as a ghost The aching feels like she's wanted[?] from coast to coast The scalpel bleach, make that a smile Stay with me, my darling, for my last little while And she sang to me, 'I'll be there as you sing yet I'll be gone before the second kiss me' "Kiss me out of the bearded barley Nightly, behind the green, green grass Swing, swing, swing the spinning step You wear those shoes and I will wear the dress. Oh kiss me"

[@QuantumDesignsHD]

sounds like Alec Ounsworth from 'Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah'

[@Different_Letter9835]

here's my take on the lyrics: (Woah! Shhhh) Silent knife Unholy knife A bridge of cracks click as I twist my spine I turn to find A visitor Rapture me, my lolita And I know she knows that I killed my love Administer the lethal dose She's as white as a ghost The aching, it feels like she's gorgeous from nose to toes The scar of blue bleeds The doctor's smile Stay with me, my darling, for my last little while And she feigns to me, I'll be there as you sing yet I'll be gone before the second 'kiss me' Kiss me, down by the boat or the bearded barley And I bleed, behind the green, green grass Swing, swing, swing that spinning step, you wear those shoes and I'll wear that dress, oh, kiss me Oh, oh, oh, three Oh, fifty three
