[Verse 1] Down Dorset Street footsteps crawl Bloody calling card upon the wall Gaslight flickers, foggy night Flash of steel, a gruesome sight Boot heels echo, then they fade Another corpse in alley laid Newspaper boys scream out the name "Extra extra! Ripper strikes again!" [Chorus] They call me the Ripper I wander the night Freeing souls in the dying light Five black roses, five graves deep Who walks the alleys while London sleeps? [Verse 2] Hanbury Street, the morning breaks Red on cobblestone, mutilated face A frightened crowd behind the tape A phantom vanished without a trace "DEAR BOSS" scrawled in bloody ink London fog hides the devil in this place [Chorus] They call me the Ripper I wander the night Freeing souls in the dying light Five black roses, five graves deep Who walks the alleys while London sleeps? [Bridge] STRIDE! EDDOWES! KELLY! NICHOLS! CHAPMAN! Five names carved into history One killer lost to mystery [Final Chorus] Five black roses, five graves deep London's devil never sleeps! They call me the Ripper So watch your back Or you may meet the man named Jack [Outro] Who was he? Nobody knows. Where did he go? Nobody knows. Whitechapel sleeps... Except for Jack
