So it may be. but its also telling a story and was beautifully written to show just how distugusting the Rake himself was. so before condeming others for liking how the song was made you should know how others are actually percieving it. i really doubt they like it cuz it is about killing the children. just cuz someone likes the sound of the instruments or the way the voice is sung doesnt mean lyrically the believe the killing to be a good thing.

wow you're all fucking idiots.. rake is another word for an unfaithful/promiscuous person. it's like 'hoe'. it's not a literal rake and it's not the name of some conceptual enemy..

[Hoogalindo]

He is the Rake.

@boyeatworld a "rake" also referred to someone who worked in the sewers, literally raking the filth and refuse that clogged up the waterways beneath the city.
