lyrics

somewhere in a lonely street
there's a fear, you can meet
when kids are all asleep
it comes out from his cache

somewhere on an empty way
there's some growls you can hear
don't go out, don't stray
be careful, you'll be slay

you scream for mercy
it makes me happy
I'm not a killer
I'm just Jack The Ripper

you come out every nights
jack, the jack's knife
you walk through the lights
jack, the jack's knife

I was walking in white-chapel
looking for a soul to stole
don't know why I strangle
don't ask what's my goal

I was walking in the bloody sand
climbing the scary hill
a ring finger and a knife by hand
every whores must be killed

you scream for mercy

I'm not a killer
I'm just Jack The Ripper

you come out every nights
jack, the jack's knife
you walk through the lights
jack, the jack's knife

(gilian)
