[Interlude]
Go on, what about the boy?
She lay as though she were in a trance
With her long eyelashes fluttering like she was dreaming
She said to him "I lie beyond the sea"
And then all of a sudden her head dipped back, and she vanished
Gone, gone without a trace
She's never coming back
Do you know what it's like to live with that?
No one knows what it's like
The only one who knew me, gone
I know what you want, and I can give it to you
I am hungry and tired
Have you ever seen God?

Slipknot is a metal group based in Des Moines, Iowa. They were formed in 1995, and are well known for their live shows and their image of nine masked performers. They are one of the most important bands of the NWOAHM (New Wave of American Heavy Metal).

The band released their demo album Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat on October 31st, 1996. Slipknot went through several lineup changes before settling with their most known Sid Wilson, Joey Jordison, Paul Gray, Chris Fehn, Jim Root, Craig Jones, Shawn “Clown” Crahan, Mick Thompson, and Corey Taylor.

This core line-up rose to the spotlight after their self-titled debut in 1999 which contained the breakout singles “Wait and Bleed” and “Spit it Out.” They would go on to release Iowa (2001), The Subliminal Verses (2004), and All Hope Is Gone (2008), and .5: The Gray Chapter (2014) and We Are Not Your Kind (2019).
