The Ripper
Lyrics
Don't go out alone at night
Cause London's Jack is sure to find
All of the whores and prostitutes
Who will get what they deserve
A faint shadow, the lightest breeze
In the quiet, empty street
A glimpse of him around the corner
Telling signs of the coming horror
Acting quick and anonymous
He flips his blade, he feels the rush
Deadly precision, swift moves with his knife
Victims are sure to lose their life
Slash through your guilty eyes
Now I lay your bowels aside
I came to severe your head
And cut a smile, your blood is shed
What drives you is yet unknown
Your identity even so
One cannot deny this beastly urge
To have the streets of Whitechapel purged
Mary Ann was the first you took
Annie Chapman the next you shook
A willing victim, so it seemed
You asked 'Will you?', and her fate was sealed
A shabby gent is what they take you for
The public and press, the modern folklore
Roaming the slums of London's East End
For all these women, from hell you were sent
Prostitute disfigurement
I mutilate, your life has to end
Brutal hacks, your face deformed
So don't go out, you have been warned
