Mercyful Fate - Great Metal Covers, Volume 10

The Ripper (Judas Priest)

You're in for a surprise, you're in for a shock
In London town street, when there's darkness and fog
When you least expect me
And you turn your back, I'll attack

I smile when I'm sneaking
Through shadows by the wall
I laugh when I'm creeping
But you won't hear me at all

All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On "The Ripper"

You'll soon shake with fear
Never knowing if I'm near
I'm sly and I'm shameless
Nocturnal and nameless
Except for "The Ripper"
Or, if you like, "Jack the Knife"

In the back alley street
Is where we'll probably meet
Underneath the gas lamp
Where the airs cold and damp
I'm a nasty surprise
I'm a devil in disguise
I'm a footstep at night
I'm a scream out in fright

All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On "The Ripper"
The Ripper?
The Ripper
