Whitechapel Calls

Fog on the brick Bootsteps in rain Whitechapel keeps A secret name A blade in the dark A door left ajar The whole block knew Something was wrong He moved like a crack in the stone He left the street feeling cold And every alley held its breath When the night took hold Mary Ann Nichols (Mary Ann Nichols) Annie Chapman (Annie Chapman) Elizabeth Stride Catherine Eddowes Mary Jane Kelly (Mary Jane Kelly) Whitechapel calls your names Whitechapel calls your names Back rooms and bloodlines Lanterns and dread A city of whispers Counting the dead The papers all screamed The crowds all stared But fear had a face And it was there He moved like a crack in the stone He left the street feeling cold And every alley held its breath When the night took hold Mary Ann Nichols (Mary Ann Nichols) Annie Chapman (Annie Chapman) Elizabeth Stride Catherine Eddowes Mary Jane Kelly (Mary Jane Kelly) Whitechapel calls your names Whitechapel calls your names No crown, no throne Just ruin and stain A ghost in the lane A stain on the page The gaslight shook The city cried And history learned How fear survives Mary Ann Nichols (Mary Ann Nichols) Annie Chapman (Annie Chapman) Elizabeth Stride Catherine Eddowes Mary Jane Kelly (Mary Jane Kelly) Whitechapel calls your names Whitechapel calls your names
