The shadowy figure who stalked the alleyways of Whitechapel in 1888 and murdered five prostitutes during his reign of terror has been shrouded in mystery. However, I say that I knew this man. How can that be?
lyrics
Tenacious fog crept slowly to blanket the remains of what he’d done.
Unhurriedly he wiped his hands from the blood of his victim.
The murder was over before the scream. The terror still in her eyes.
He turned and walked back to the roundabout with a proper English style.
I knew Jack the Ripper.
The streets became his playground, the moorlands of mortal sin.
Staring bedeviled into the darkness, visitation settled in.
Stale odor of opium on his breath. Satan powered his reflective thought.
Obsession had control of his very soul as he would turn cold steel to hot.
I knew Jack the Ripper.
