Darkness falls and the city sleeps

With one eye open for the creeps

Stay out of the hands of the ripper

An elusive shadow man

Terror since it all began

Stay out of the hands of the ripper

Lurking the darkness, out for blood

Stay out of the hands of the ripper

Phantom floats on the slum's foul air

Spectre of that loathly lair

Churches weep, citizens shiver

No one ever heard a sound

Another ghastly murder found

Not a scream, even a whisper

Lurking the darkness, out for blood

Stay out of the hands of the ripper

Lurking the darkness, out for blood

Stay out of the hands of the ripper
