Lyrics
[Verse 1] Between you and me How cautious we have become Leaving it hooked and off the floor To think, the better you might have known... With age

With every breath You wake, a picture instilled the way I wish you had lived, with cause through pain No matter, you died the same... Machine

[Chorus] So, tell me like you want to (Here they come to rock your body all night) If you want me too (Here they come to rock your body all night)

So, tell me like you want to (Here they come to rock your body all night) If you want me too (Here they come to rock your body all night)

So, tell me like you want to (Here they come to rock your body all night) If you want me too (Here they come to rock your body all night)

[Verse 2] When who's to blame In a matter of fact I might Purely suggest we tell the truth From here on out, we walk the straight... Afraid

What will they do Should we weather this new reply? Or patiently wait your proper end From shameless motive to hollow sin (I'll wait)

[Chorus] So, tell me like you want to (Here they come to rock your body all night) If you want me too (Here they come to rock your body all night)

So, tell me like you want to (Here they come to rock your body all night) If you want me too (Here they come to rock your body all night)

So, tell me like you want to (Here they come to rock your body all night) If you want me too (Here they come to rock your body all night)

So, tell me like you want to (Here they come to rock your body all night) If you want me too (Here they come to rock your body all night)

[Bridge] 'Cause I don't want you to come around here I just want you to go I don't want you to come around here I just want you to know

Is this the way you, is this the way you Is this the way you watch the body die? Is this the way you, is this the way you Is this the way you watch the body die?

[Outro] ('Cause I don't want your...) I said, love before you rot ('Cause I don't want your...) I said, love before you rot

('Cause I don't want your...)

Story Context
"" '''As the official story has not yet been released, anything in this section is speculation, not fact. More so than usual, of course.'''

This seems to be describing The Bleam Family's Blood Machine. The Bleam matriarch has been "given a vision by God" that her sons, Long-Arm and Butchie, have to become the world's new Death and collect souls. They construct the Blood Machine to thoroughly shred the body of their victims, thus leaving no doubt that the soul has been released. They refer to killing (or more specifically, going through the machine) as a dance or dancing.
