In the song "Tu vas me détruire", we have the sentence "Lentement, je m'y noierai, sans qu'un remord ne me vienne". It seems to me this violates the rule that ne explétif is not used when the main tense is not used with negation.
"Lentement, je m'y noierai, sans qu'un remord ne me vienne"

Hi Emre Can,
This grammar rule is often forgotten by native speakers and this is a good example of when this happens.
But well spotted!
