about

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 round about
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
