Which of those women would you ask for advice yourself when you were in trouble?
“This one, who symbolizes Death in ‘Time.’ Death is real, she doesn’t need a mask or a pose, etiquette, tact or hypocrisy. All those things that make up the communication between mortal people. Death and the passing of Time are almighty, so they can talk freely.” [Samsonic - Sept/Oct 2001]

“She’s death. I think everybody gets to pick how they see death. So to me, she is the Grim Reaper, and I saw her. Because time is ticking, Tori.” [AP - October 2001]

“I thought about taking this to the organ, but I stripped it back... It’s from the point of view of Death, so I felt like you need to feel like you are sitting on the piano stool. No masks, no effects, it’s right here, dry, with a little compression on vocals.” [Ice - September 2001]
