The Ripper

The sun disappears when the moon shines high

As creatures stir in the shadow of the night

In abandoned homes where those monsters lie

Dreams are forgotten when he takes up flight

His fangs will be bared and blood shall be spilled

Where even heaven’s light cannot be shared

Leaves them for dead when his stomach is filled

Love does not reach his heart, he never cared

He walks in the alleys where light is low

His victim, she walks in the deathly breeze

Her fate becomes swift when she sees her foe

Never knew the hurt before his hand seized

He lurks just behind, waiting for his kill

Her sweet and innocent blood he will spill.
