The Black Dahlia Murder
The Leather Apron’s Scorn
[Verse 1]
The Ripper they've called me
Open the paper, I am on every page you will see
It is I who pulls the strings
Who makes them scream
I am the denizen who lurks after dark
Carving the flesh of those who would wear the mark of the whore
Fear the leather apron's scorn
Each night reborn

[Chorus]
Terrorize these foggy London streets
Lock your doors and hide
When the gas lamps come to life
They're where I'll creep

[Verse 2]
They never hear my footsteps approaching
Their whorish existences my knife is encroaching upon
Public anticipation is growing
For when and where ol' Jackie will strike

[Refrain]
Victimize and ravage lady fair
With my knife they must comply
For she who'd sell her flesh
I'm looming near
[Bridge]
A shroud of mania surrounds
Becoming stronger with their fear
Their fear

[Chorus]
Terrorize these foggy London streets
Lock your doors and hide
In the darkest alleyways, they're where I'll be

[Refrain]
Victimize and ravage lady fair
With my knife they must comply
The women of the night
Who are fools to dare

[Outro]
I know what you are
And you'll soon know me
Stripping your skin
I feel complete
