JACK THE RIPPER
— INTRO —
(Dark church bells... Woman Scream)
— METAL GUITAR RIFF —
Verse I
Where Whitechapel kept its hunger dressed in thread,
A narrow court concealed the break of dawn.
One silent trail left scarlet where the cobbles bled,
Before the city's borrowed calm was gone.
Chorus
I am Jack, Jack the Ripper.
My scalpel cuts so deep inside.
Every night my mind invites the evil in to stay.
It feels as though I gladly live with madness every day.
(Maniacal Laughter)
Ha... ha... ha... HAAAH!
Ha... ha... ha...
Verse II
Scotland Yard pursued a map no eye could read,
Each witness carved another crooked tale.
Every clue dissolved before it could succeed,
While certainty itself began to pale.

Verse III
Some swore a royal surgeon knew the art,
A whispered charge no courtroom could sustain.
The rumours fed on every fearful heart,
Yet left no proof to ever bear his stain.
Chorus
I am Jack, Jack the Ripper.
My scalpel cuts so deep inside.
Every night my mind invites the evil in to stay.
It feels as though I gladly live with madness every day.
(Maniacal Laughter)
Ha... ha... ha... HAAAH!
Ha... ha... ha...
Verse IV
He carved with dreadful knowledge, cold and grim,
Leaving London's bravest frozen where they stood.
No chain, no judge, no gallows waited him,
The beast slipped out and vanished into blood.
Chorus
I am Jack, Jack the Ripper.
My scalpel cuts so deep inside.
Every night my mind invites the evil in to stay.
It feels as though I gladly live with madness every day.
(Maniacal Laughter)
Ha... ha... ha... HAAAH!
Ha... ha... ha...
